Death

I look up to the darkening sky
lower my head as the wolf cries
Its loud stretched out nightly howl
creepy just like the spinning head of an owl

I slowly make my way down the road
and stop as I see a dead toad
I grimace why does everything around me have to die
oh that's right because they haven't got a choice

I continue walking until I'm at the house
where everyone inside is as quiet as a mouse
I raise my blade and shove it far into the ground
don't think I'm heartless I'm just doing my job
I hear the women from insides sob

then its over I've done my deed
I grimace at that familiar pain in my knee
I smile now i can go home
as the women's husband is living no more.
