THE KNIFE




 


A knife cold and deadly,

You pick up at your peril,

It comes not as your protector,

But to take your life as

You know it, as well. 


It does not matter

At which point you look.

One knife thrust takes it all.

As the perpetrator,

You will be incarcerated

Between four walls.

You will never walk,

Free proud and tall.


If you fall without letting go

You will be just another statistic,

Wrapped in your funeral shroud.

Your family will grieve and lament

Until none of them survives,

To remember your life at all.
