Caring Eyes Are Loaded Guns

When caring eyes are loaded guns, handshakes become fists

When handshakes become fists, friends become enemies

When friends become enemies, loaded guns dominate the scene

We try and keep the loaded guns at a distance, but when handshakes become fists, alcohol becomes ice.

When alcohol becomes ice, the caring eyes return

But as the ice melts and the night begins, the world turns blind

With a blind world, an overflowing glass, a swollen fist and a loaded gun

The war ends.
