Under the Sun
Under the sun
beaks of death
points at living things
that roam the universe
none with armor
Under the sun
there is no inoculation
great armies go to war
to search for death
none with armor
cowardly, proud, wise nations
are victims in same way
helplessly they shout
and kick dust in faces
none with armor
those that puff as Puff udder
shouting “no surrender, no retreat”
prepares for its great harvest
the moment the bell tolls
none with armor
Those that puff as Puff Udder
the ones that holier than holiness
have no armor against death
in this place under the Sun
