A/N: First poem since at least a year, and it has to come in English to my brain! ~_~ Well, I don't need any disclaimers with this piece, because nothing special is mentioned. No one who belongs to anybody. Just some thoughts Elves (who, indeed, belong to Tolkien) COULD have about humans. I just hope you'll like it. ^^

My, humans …
*
My, aren't you the eager ones,
battling through your lives
in steady haste
*
My, aren't you the cruel ones,
following your urge
to spend and waste
*
My, aren't you the noisy ones,
screaming in your dark
despair and fear
*
My, aren't you the giddy ones,
joking day for day
and year for year
*
My, aren't you the happy ones,
enjoying life till time
will rob your breath
*
My, aren't you the lucky ones,
who never know eternity
or living death

Thanks to Sally, who – strangely enough – made me think about writing poetry again.
