DEATH
🌠I watched as the green fresh leaf floated in the air
And danced joyfully to the sound of the wind
I smiled at it, for it looked so free.
Little did I know that this green glow, that chlorophyll gave was about to go.
For it had withered, its season was over.
🌠A new animal is born, it grows fast enough to fend for itself
Momma's love is not needed anymore
Howbeit, man on this part of the world has to survive
Therefore the lives of these creatures are for consumption only
A Shot!
The sound of a heartbeat, it's heartbeat fades away slowly
The last thing it sighted were fresh green grasses and a figure
🌠Health is life at least he thought so
Until the excruciating pain in his chest gave him sleepless nights
Those nights he spent under the white sheets
Gradually his light was fading away
He had no warmth anymore, and for the first time he asked for a second chance
He couldn't remember if his prayers were answered
He just opened his eyes to a bright new light
🌠She is a beautiful occurence to certain nature for they know they will be regenerated
Amongst other creatures and humans, she takes them unaware
Her victims are sometimes drunk with pain till stupor
Though she gives them a chance or few minutes to ask for mercy
What about those left behind to wail for this same mercy?
Yet remember, she has to survive too.
Is she beautiful, heartless and unmerciful?
