The dawn of a morning
creaked in the sky
Hearing its echo
he ventured outside
Out on the porch
observing the blooms
he noticed a flower
with the face of a moon
Trampled down plants
surrounded its land
Left standing firm
with a glare unabashed
Unsettling fears
crept in his ears
Uproot this monster
and break this earth free
Under weak weedy light
with a serrated old knife
he bent to his knees
to kill off his plight
Grazing the blade
along all its sides
a thought trailed his mind
was he doing what’s right?
The shadows of night
swashed back and forth
Almost cloaking the sight
of a corpse on the floor
creaked in the sky
Hearing its echo
he ventured outside
Out on the porch
observing the blooms
he noticed a flower
with the face of a moon
Trampled down plants
surrounded its land
Left standing firm
with a glare unabashed
Unsettling fears
crept in his ears
Uproot this monster
and break this earth free
Under weak weedy light
with a serrated old knife
he bent to his knees
to kill off his plight
Grazing the blade
along all its sides
a thought trailed his mind
was he doing what’s right?
The shadows of night
swashed back and forth
Almost cloaking the sight
of a corpse on the floor
