Run Rabbit Run

You walked those savage streets Without a clue Without a care You could not see the dangers or sense that death was everywhere Predators and prowlers...they all look for parts to play They saw you as a playground Your heart and soul would soon to pay Big wide smiles they turned to frowns as they took you to their traps Those jokers and those jackyls they laughed loud inside your brain Friendly faces they grew fangs Helping hands grew iron claws Loving eyes that showed compassion soon turned evil,cold,and hard Angry arrows they shot at you Bloody sickles they all swung You woke up quick to wickedness Run rabbit run Hiding in a hole in a fortress made of fire You dug yourself in deeper in the depths of dark despair No one comes and no one cares That became your new belief A solitary soul...long lost love is what you seek Broke down you had to build up from the ground of broken dreams Emotions...fear and hatred...race like bullets in your brain Burn the book and turn the page...a new chapter now unfolds Time it ticks and time it tocks...shooting holes in the savage sun Never turning back Run rabbit run Destiny day it finally came Those desperadoes would surely meet their doom Those streets that once betrayed you now become your battlefield Break the seal...you're now a soldier And there is no turning back Because a brave man dies but once while a coward dies a thousand deaths Evil ones and enemies...they surround you like a shell Wicked wolves they all were snarling...soon in shock and sad surprise Now the rabbit roars with laughter as he watches demons die His weakness turns to strength His ignorance into intelligence Beware the beast is coming and his appearance is deceiving With an appetite and a smoking gun Run rabbit run

Very powerful poem. I like the way it's written. "Because a brave man dies but once while a coward dies a thousand deaths" is a strong line. Well done!
