WITHOUT MERCY #poetry by jay

shooting star in the night

they landed unseen

they scattered the earth

they hid in the shadows

we never saw them

we ignored the signals

we butchered our feelings

then,

they attacked

without mercy.

    I delight in the feeling of ruthlessness captured so tangibly in your words; a powerful reminder to stay conscious!
