DEATH MEETS INNOCENCE

A lad innocent and loved by all

A son who answers each and every call

Doesn't know much about his precious life

One day dares to challenge the pain of knife

 

And then what,

He sees standing tall his death

He takes a calm but very deep breath

He slowly crawls towards his own demise

To ask a question with eyes in eyes

 

He asks where will you take me to

What trouble would you drag me into?

Why have you come here; tell me?

Don't take me away; I have a big world to see

When will you return me to mother

Make it soon, as she will bother

 

Hearing the questions and the entreaty

The death himself feels sorrow and pity

He asks himself why I should take this guiltless child.

Why should I throw him into the deadly wild?

 

A moment later death says to the tiny sad sack

You'll persist and will always have my back

The kid gave a large smile so did the assassin

Emptiness loses and pureness wins
