Will to Live
As I took my last breathes,
On the battle field of death,
I thought of the rolling green hills,
And the tall wheat mills.
The big blue sea and the great orca whales,
Anemones, starfish, and tiny shelled snails,
I looked up at the smoke-filled sky,
I saw white clouds, and I could fly.
For once, I felt at completely peace,
Then I looked at this world of corrupt and said please.
Please god, make this world of war, murder and hate,
Of revenge, death, and bad fate,
Make it a world of love, and togetherness,
Keep this world at peace, and all in happiness.
I wouldn't die, I kept on breathing,
Kept on hearing, kept on seeing.
All in the end, I saw fit to forgive,
Soon I would discover that, indeed, I would live.
