Pineapple's Worth

She was hungry so was I So we went to look for food. We spot people who look her in the eye And mommy thought they were good. They gave her a pineapple Which she peacefully ate Though t'was a little hard to grapple She gladly chew it down her fate. Then there came a boom I solely heard It was firecrackers down her throat. Her mouth bursted, her eyes blurred But I did not feel her loathe. In pain she looked for a safe place Thinking about her biggest fear. She ran the streets like in a race But my heart she can no longer hear. She reached the river to ease the pain And asked what's the pineapples worth? My death told her not to suffer in vain It's worth is heavier than my birth.
