The Shadow of Death by Tina

The rainy day, a tragedy happened to a little young boy,

But the boy knew nothing of the impending danger:

The young boy just ran to the fence with joy,

And he changed clothes to conceal himself a stranger:

When he started to explore a place that was grim,

Nervous and anxious, the boy could feel it,

Although he didn’t know of the darkness chasing him,

Though hard the search for his friend’s father, the boy didn’t quit:

All of a sudden, the siren sounded loudly,

Soldiers rushed into the tent and everyone was screaming:

Into the gas chamber the soldiers threw them proudly,

The little boy wanted to believe that somehow he was dreaming:

Holding hands, when terror invaded his mind,

The shadow of death swallowed him and made him blind.
