Falling
Never landing
Can't touch the ground

Flailing futilly
Grasping for anything
Something to stop me

My greatest fear
I'm not in control
Powerless

Without power I am nothing
My existence useless
Not even an essence

They kill recklessly
With abandon and hopeless disregard
Who am I to stave them

I am one man
One gun
One piece of sand on the beach

How much can a piece of sand do in the ocean
What can it change
What can it do

It can neither kill the smallest fish
Nor the largest whale
But it can do something

Sand bound together
Glass or pearls
Objects of use

We must band together
To become the glass
The pearl

To become a single united being
Strong and beautiful
Unchallenged in beauty and strength

A shell of titanium
A furnace of lead
A necklace of death

We are the sands
Washed and abused by the tides
But in our perfect form, we are invincible
