One Fatal Moment
Flashing a smile
with words to inspire
brimmed with intelligence
begging for reverence
testifies to a will
that sees to its instill
will be whipped to and fro
by the non believers, trying so
to annihilate it all,
the demons in the dark
who know well your heart
and its deepest desires
seeking to set them afire
that all you have done
in one moment you're undone
can crash it all down to null.
You can try to cover it up
but it all comes out eventually
to laugh sarcastically
at your pretty face, gone pale
your soul now tainted,
your believers feeling deceived
shattered in their reprieve.
Yet they remember the gifts
they can't forget your spirit
they can't forget the love
they felt for you who
brimmed with intelligence
begging for reverence
You who taught them
about loving life
with a flash of a smile
and words to inspire.
