Radiant beauty of a flower,
danger lurking in the shade,
all seems well, then it
devours,
mind shattered, left in a
daze.
Goodness in the morning
light,
surviving the nightly cold
chill,
serenity, with a peaceful
sight,
almost forgetting those who
kill.
Wild flowers covering a
field,
harmony tries to take the
lead,
happiness found behind a
shield,
away from sorrow’s hungry
plead.
Never enough there to
provide,
for greed turns hearts to
stone,
good verses evil, you
decide,
the burden of where never
alone.
Placing importance on what’s
mine,
leads to endless suffering
and pain,
in desperation we commit the
crime,
tears never wash away the
pain.
