my soul to take

what did her little body do
her soul asked
taken so abruptly so violently

don’t cry, papi, daddy
i now soar with the soul
of the Universe, at peace

it is you, whose body
must witness and suffer
the pangs of war

it is you who must
run and hide from those
who wish you harm

there are no tears
where I now reside
only smiles awaiting you

for all of you who saw
my limp and lifeless body
i need it no longer

do not lament for me
speak of kindness and truth
only this can garner
Peace and love
