To Laugh

The Sky is on fire,
There is Death above us.
But we don't look because our eyes are immature
And our shame jails us at home.
The Trees hold us up at gun point,
We walk right by and laugh.
We will die in the Fire, with bullets logged in our chests,
And laugh all the way to Hell.


The author's comments:
I wrote this at a time when I was feeling stressed and realized I hadn't taken the time to simply go outside. I went to take a walk and realized how nature heals us and how it can also be taken for granted.
