Transcendence

The sun is shining, and the sky is blue 
The robin on an olive tree singing; 
Chirp, chirp, chirp until it flew 
I wonder what’s it saying? 

School’s out, and the children are holidaying. 
In an isolated field, the girl walks; 
The paedophile had been watching 
To lure her to his home with sweet talks. 

The apple dropped and fell to the ground 
By my feet, it has been crushed;
How long will it be around
Or from existence, it will be brushed? 

From a distance, the lady arrived at a house, 
With sophisticated clothes and good looks; 
The old man waiting for her like a timid mouse 
Later he paid her and another date he books. 

From yesterday, continued today, also tomorrow, 
Episodes in life pass, and more will be created; 
As for me, I see events becoming deathblow
The thirst for evil it’s unbelievable underrated.
