A dawn like any other A dawn strewn in dew drops and light Portent of a day of beauty and grace Gently clearing the shadows of night Freeing earth from darkness’ embrace A choir of birds sing a salute serenade Weaving melodies with appearing hues Persuading life and light to syncopate Compassionately offering them to fuse And as dawn changes to become day A beautiful child comes out to play On the lawn in front of her house She joins the concert of the birds That watch her from the boughs Interlacing chirps with her words A soft caress to the ears of God Who embraces her in His heart She is the chosen one He sought The precious soul He will guard On her flight in time and space The little girl with an angel face Less than half a block away A man without a face waits In his dusty black Chevrolet He unwearyingly anticipates The moves of the young child As she taps toward the street He started the car and smiled As he drove it with great speed Over the girl who died right away While the Chevy rocketed away God ripped out His heart in pain While satan celebrated the slay Abruptly ending the birds’ refrain Silencing the vow of a beautiful day As skies above earth turned black Sleet lashed life and thunder broke Storms demolished all on their track The world we know starts to choke This day that started out in majesty Became a rotting ulcer in history The child had met her killer before They fought since the dawn of time As sworn enemies form days of yore In a war between dusk and sublime For a moment this world had staged A battle of a war it can not assume Dwarfing all the wars it had waged Observing the unforgiving doom That will once come to this place To obliterate all beautiful days Rage of Reason
