Life

2024-12-03 · free-verse · evergreen

The Child who just received a nintendo switch for her 8th birthday

The man who had to hitch a ride home only to find his mother's death

The piquant taste of sugar straight from the cane

The same sugar that leaves 88 thousand slain

A mundane day of tedious tasks Not knowing that somewhere else is a person's last

The freedom of a deer with the world to explore

Its life stripped away by a lion's vigor

We all think we see the big picture But the pieces are scattered in the sand Only time will reveal what we understand
