The Deer

There in the open field of carnations

Away from the rest of his kind

Stood still one of God\'s lone creations

Maybe, perhaps death was on his mind

 

Standing tall, head held up so high

With the peace of the world under tread

One could even look straight in his eye

Just as the bullet ripped open his head

 

A time later, I stood alone in the street

Away from the rest of mankind

With the peace of the world under feet

Pondering if my time is duly divined
