The Dove Has Fallen Poem by Cody O'Hara

The Dove Has Fallen



The dove has fallen
Downed by a stray bullet
Penetrating its heart

As it draws its last breath
Too late the soldiers realize
Their folly, begging forgiveness

Yet their cries go unheard
For fate favors not the foolish
And the cloud of death looms
