Death Kills

Highly inappropriate to

Speak of death when

Sunlight dances playfully

Upon the hillside casting

Very little shadow on

The meadow, if at all.

 

Cannot, must not kill

The dream, cry the scream of

Dreadful mourn,

Place a burden to be

Born on shoulders

Fully unprepared.

 

Open-eyed, yet unaware of

Danger lurking in the trees,

Tiger-quick, apache fearless,

Ready to spring forth with ease.

 

So involved, preoccupied,

Dreams of conquest to fulfill.

Defiant to the bitter end,

Scratching, crawling up the hill.
