That dreadful moment we all don't want to think about

LAST MOMENT
Many of us
When we hear of gruesome deaths
Always wonder
The demeanour of the victims
At that last moment
None of us
Has ever bothered
To find the in-depth
Because
The only thought of it
Makes us cringe
Wondering if
It will be our turn next
The thought
Will the victims cry
Will they plead
Will they shout
Will they smile and slowly
Submit themselves to death
Thinking
Their cries will soften the heart
Of those cannibals
Their pleas will make them
Have a second thought
Their shout and struggle
Will make them leave
The shout for hope
The struggle for survival
Yet no human came
Yet no one saw it
Then the smile
Accepting what is meant to be
But not supposed to be
The cannibals and men hunters
Whose soul
Has been sold to the devil
Has no remorse
As he plucked his victim eyes out
Like a predator
Feeding on his prey
He set to work in the night
Ignoring the screams and cries
Of that lovely soul
Fully aware of many hurts
And heartbreak he will be causing
At that last moment
