Killing An Arab

Standing on the beach with a gun in my hand,

staring at the sea, staring at the sand.

Staring down the barrel at the Arab on the ground,

see his open mouth but I hear no sound...

I'm alive, I'm dead.

I'm the stranger,

killing an Arab.

I can turn and walk away, or I can fire the gun.

Staring at the sky, staring at the sun.

Whichever I choose it amounts to the same

absolutely nothing.

I'm alive, I'm dead.

I'm the stranger,

killing an Arab.

I feel the silver jump, smooth in my hand.

Staring at the sea, staring at the sand.

Staring at myself,

reflected in the eyes of the dead man on the beach...

(The dead man on the beach)

I'm alive, I'm dead.

I'm the stranger,

killing an Arab.

The shallow drowned lose less than we...

It's about the Camus novel A Stranger. It's not racist or xenophobic in any way.
