Bellflower Ruins

it's a melancholic scene,

the choir lined up in a ring,


they sing in sync,

a melodious hymn


Who was the real masked reaper 

before they turned into the grim?


living in a euphoric world 

with a family of nymphs


cropped their plants as usual 

and went with bubblegum life 

barely chewing by the bits


before they began to take off 

heads using a gardening scythe


they stopped cutting off bellflowers

with a regular switchblade knife


they’re the only sign of hope 

that’s left in these deserted ruins,


an abandoned away cemetery, 

lay the bones of a million humans


it could be made into a wonderland

if only we’d paint the roses,


if we were honest with each other instead 

of ignoring the truth under our noses


the moon is gone, but there’s 

two burning hot suns


there has to be more in existence, 

we selflessly cannot be the only ones
