I Am Haunted By Humans.

There is no malice in what I do
If anything I am a savior
Human mortality is my reason for being
It is humans that fear me
But I fear them
Their readiness to murder one another for their beliefs
In these dark times I am carrying an immeasurable number of them
the victims of the ignorance of many humans
Some far too young to understand why I am greeting them
Why they have been taken from the earth so early in life
I know this isn’t right
All these lives being taken away
The lives of the young and innocent
Cruelly destroyed
Their souls not satisfied with the end of their human life
They were not ready to leave
Some even beg with me
I cannot listen
I cannot comfort them
I have no words
