Walking on the road
Kicking up loose rocks on the dusty ground
Whistling to myself completely carefree
Blue skies warm sun
I came across a sign on the road
“Caution: Shooting and Hunting in Progress”
I scoffed
How unlikely, this sign has been here forever
I continued to walk down the road
Past the sign into the deeper forest
So beautiful it was, peace and quiet
The birds chirping, sun shining through the leaves
My gut had a funny feeling
Afraid for no reason?
It was so nice here I longed for this peace and beauty
The sun, so warm on my skin, leaves rustling
BANG!
So sudden - I stared down in shock
I had been shot
In the gut

- Comment from author about the poem: Meaning: while this seems like a short story from first glance, the meaning is deeper than that. The protagonist did not pay attention to all the warnings, and therefore suffered grave consequences.
