I Am Afraid

Today I saw it in their faces

Their smiles hiding their death

How fearful they all are

How uncertain in their steps

There were plenty

Crowding here and there

Blankly staring at whatever

Didn’t know where was where

Today I saw all of their empty faces

I saw all of their deadly smiles

The truth that had escaped me for so long

Today I saw it in their eyes

All the death inevitable

All the truth that we are blind to

Everything came flashing to me

Today I saw a million miles

Today I saw death smiling

And now I must prepare

For in their ignorance they do not know

But I am afraid.

Today I looked up at the empty skies

And I was; am afraid.
