slow





i was not wild and free
i was never meant to be
and walked silent on the earth
to death from birth

my fellow humans stopped to look
as my weary steps i took
for the very mark of cain
on my face was written plain

but when i turned around
no trace of me was found
on the earth's unyielding crust
i left no footprints in the dust

i took it slow
for where was there to go?
i looked up at the gray sky
and it said goodbye
