For all the humans (The Book Thief)
For all the humans
by Emmers00
I would stop the wolf faced man,
I would stop the storm.
I would stop the gas that burns,
and settle all the scores.
I would pay the debts you owe,
fight the fights you “couldn’t lose”
I would come just before you were gone,
I’d come just for you.
I’d trip the boys on all front lines,
before they could all run,
I’d hide the powder, the bullets, that belong inside,
every single gun.
I’d drink the poison,
I’d drink the pain,
I’d drink up all the lost years,
I’d drink up all the misery behind all your silent tears.
I’d lean down to your soft shoulders,
shaking in the wind,
tousle your sweet tear stained hair,
I see where you’ve been.
I’d tell you not to run and hide,
they’ll love you
I know they do.
I’d help you sneak a book inside,
a coat.
One book…or two.
If I could do more than carry you,
when gas, or guns, or glass
strike you down.
I swear I’d kiss and save you dear,
but that is not allowed.
