American City.

 

Shot in the head lying face down in the ground.

No one had seen who did it, even though there are hundreds of people around.

The rain is helping the blood flow down the street.

Someone has already stolen the trainers from his feet.

The crowd gathers larger with their phones in their hands.

Not worried that he is dead, just want to be part of movieland.

Piercing scream of a mother can be heard from afar.

He left her home a few minutes ago, but never made it to his car.

The policeman takes his coat off and lays it across his head.

The crowd sheds no tears or shows any pity.

It is just a normal day in an American city.
