the 1000 children

death, a form of birth

and when night fell
they left
the whole lot of them
in their wake laid
clothes
tattered and torn,
attatched
to lifeless dolls.

i saw the very man,
who burned
those 1000 children.
their pets
were not spared.
it was
indeed quite beautiful.

those adults, now born,
were here,
and they made life.
and bruned
it all to ashes.
and it was
indeed quite beautiful.

this town destroyed
and all
those beautiful people,
were gone.
they all moved on
to better,
indeed quite beautiful
places.
