Rabbit
Rabbit lives deep in her burrow
She doesn’t know where to go
The dark makes sure she’s never found
Stuck safely down underground
The sunlight never burns her skin
There’s no dangers from within
She hoards pretty gems from the mines,
But never sees the gems shine
Wolves can’t find her
Lonely shelter
She can’t be traced
All are erased
When the flood comes
The rabbits from the ground above
They live in sunlight and love
They’re together, having their fun
Getting picked off one by one
A rabbit’s life is nature’s bet
They say it is worth the threat
Better to live short having fun
Then living long, having none
She never asked to live like this
All the adventures she missed
Outwit wolves, it’s what rabbits do
She needs to come out to you
She stops as thunder shakes the ground
Rabbits above won’t be found
The ground shifts and out comes a drop
Her walls burst, water won’t stop
As water consumes her burrow
There is nowhere she can go
Frantically digging out too late
The ceiling caves in her fate
She has no name
Is she the same?
Hiding herself
Is it for health?
