Lamb's Quarters
Lamb's quarters is a tall and spindly plant.
It grows tall enough to look a man in the eye.
It is as nutritious to eat
As a leg of lamb.
The leaves of this weed have a varied appearance.
Sometimes the leaves look like a goose's foot.
They have a white powder on them
Making them repel water
Like wearing a bright yellow raincoat
In a sudden summer storm.
A good day to die
New evil was born,
families torn,
no mentsh was in sight,
killing their pride.
How empty and frozen,
their hearts for the chosen,
blind for their fate,
since envy turned hate.
Those looking away,
words can not say,
how worse their deed,
not helping in need.
Those forced to kill,
what is left of their will?
Two paths they may choose,
their life is to lose.
Don't clinge to your breath,
either bring death,
when death is nigh,
look fear in the eye.
The master of will,
to this day I say,
his virtue is still,
choose death over kill.
All humans die,
to be a man know why,
but few out of them,
heroes choose when.
