"Never Friends"

"Never Friends"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I 

4 Pretty things signed a Contract

4 Pretty Things could not turn back

And so with their guns and their gear

They went hunting on this Summer Night 

II

4 Pretty things going about their own way

Hunting the only thing that can be prey

A lone man sitting by his lonesome

Not anymore as they approached his domicile.

III

4 Pretty things got in each others way

2 fought the other 2 and 2 died right away

1 struggled with a gun to her head

1 Pretty thing wound up dead.
