Danger of Death

We were all condemned to the same fate

A “Die today or die tomorrow?” mind-set

Infants were tossed in the air and used for target practice

The world would never tolerate such crimes

But what can we expect its war

But to forget the dead would be akin to killing them in a second

One more reason to hate, one less reason to live

I was nothing but ashes now

I tried to rid myself of my invisible assassin

The idea of dying began to fascinate me

I was a body, or even less: a starved stomach

Our lives no longer belonged to us

I was the accuser and God was the accused

Death was settling in around me silently and gently

Man is stronger and greater than God
