Poem 7 : Shadow of Death

We hide under the canopy,

The canopy of illusions,

We fear the uncertainty

That lies with our fate.

We run from the chaos

Engulfed in our lives.

We play on streets

with Splattered blood.

We wonder what ecstasy is,

We wonder how life would be,

Would there be peace

And Could humans love again.

We stare at the augury,

Their lies a shadow

That lurks within our sanctity,

The shadow of death.
