It's simply stunning.
Then, if you are Highlander-inclined, this one. Somehow, Methos can voice things for me that I can't otherwise say.
Mercy
You gaze into the distance,
contemplating the mercy run.
I tally ordnance and wonder which
hell I can avoid, before the deluge
is too much for even our kind.
Everyone's insulated, MacLeod.
Nobody ever thinks it's them,
this time, with sticks for houses
and the stench of the abandoned
in their noses.
The leaders are the worst.
Yes, go, you will, anyway.
Save another soul. Only don't
bring those eyes to me, my friend.
I can't stand to see that look.
So raw, so wounded, and so kind.
