Taken
Taken
A life can be taken
It doesn’t matter by what
It is taken by
It only matters
That it can be
Taken
Death is easy to give
Nature does it all the time
Creatures killed in the woods
Their lives
Taken
We say we’re human
But is that just another animal
Waiting for the kill
Waiting for a life to be
Taken
Creatures use their bodies
Using themselves
To take a life
So they can
Live to repeat it again
Tomorrow
Unless their life is
Taken
But humans
We don’t do that
We could write a book
On the ways a life can be
Taken
Hung in the gallows
Shot on site
Drive bys
Poison
Are a few ways
A life can be
Taken
What reason is there
To kill another
Member of the human
Race
To get their life
Taken
A life is easy
To take
But hard
To give back
It’s easy to get your life
Taken
How can we
Be
So cruel
To just let
Other’s lives be
Taken
