Sadist

Sadist

we hung from trees, we were invincible, we even stole from bees.
we swam in the river, we laid in the sun, we ran and ran, till our hearts beat like a drum.
we ran like the wind, we were young.

we were so strong and then it all went wrong.
we grew up and life revealed its true self.
it’s sadistic and cruel and  shows no mercy.

You took Your life, You died under Your weight.
i never would of imagined such a fate for such a strong and happy little child.

i’ll never forget You, You’re forever gone.
life really did so much wrong for a boy who never did any harm.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
