Xenophobia (Repost)

By Alacer_Cogitatus

An apple fell from a fruiting tree,
Bringing lots of pain,
Carol May sat crying,
Down below the grain.
"Enough!" cried She,
"F*ck you and f*ck me!
"Go away and leave me be!
"Hell nor heaven can stop me now!
"Into the abyss I go!" she vowed.
"Jesus, what a sh*tty day!
"Kites all around!
"Leave me be you stupid things,
"Maybe I'll go see what death brings."
Now, she got up and left her spot,
On her way to die.
People come and people go,
Quite right, as you know.
Running towards the cliff's long face,
Sprinting to her doom.
Then, she jumped and fell way down,
Until she hit the ground.
Vans and cars all passed her by,
Wondering that age old question, why.
Xenophobia, is what she had,
Yelling and screaming when someone came near,
Zealot of a hidden fear.
