    The Five Year-Old Girl

    The five-year old girl finally learned to hate
    which was fate
    when she saw the expression on his face
    that look from her head she could not erase
    All we wanted to do was put him in his place
    watching the cars a perfect pace
    He moved away from the street
    but that was okay
    because this would not be our defeat
    This little girl cried and felt pain
    her tears flowed like the rain
    in fear that we could not regain
    we made ourselves sustain
    Even though he didn't think
    he was wrong
    The feelings inside us grew strong
    Time grew long and our emotions grew strong
    But now we didn't like this man
    who once in our eyes was grand
    there was no longer love
    or the pleasure of his hand
    Only death is what I started to plan
    Anger worked quickly and only bad memories
    is what I could see
    The more bad memories there were
    the more displeasure
    only anger is what I could measure
    They came more quickly page by page
    then they stopped and what was left on top
    I thought a fluke, a flop
    The image became clear and I embraced it
    all those bad memories
    but the good ones wasted
    It brought me leisure
    I laughed at it, I smiled
    then my anger began to go mild
    That memory save him, or perhaps it saved me
    And finally it was clear and I was able to see
    it wasn't me who had done it
    but the five-year old girl who had saved me

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
