As we drive further into the village
all the happiness and beauty ends
everthing that used to live,
is now dead.
all I see if dirt and old houses
and it appears nobody's here either.
the only thing greeting us is the
not-so-friendly sign next to the burnt tree.
"get out of here", "leave"
the sign screams to me
but of course, we don't listen
and we proceed

- Comment from author about the poem: To understand this poem, you most look at it with an open mind. If you just read it, it may sound like the beginning of a horror story, but in reality, its meaning quite different. Personally, to me, it\'s life. There comes a time in our life in which darkness and sadness overcomes us, but we find the courage to go on (and face everything that is to come).
