The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

You come to me angry,
Knife in hand.
You say that I don't
Belong in your land.

I stand here unarmed,
So you'd better think twice.
You'd better not strike,
Just heed my advice.

I'm no martial artist,
No kung-fu king.
If you stab me
I'll let it go in.

I offer no threat
Just friendship, you see.
I don't beg or plead
At least, not for me.

So, here we are,
You threaten my life,
To slice me open
With a slash of your knife

But you'd be the loser,
I hope you can see
I'd lose my life
You'd lose humanity.

You think you are tough
You'll cross that line
You'll walk away
And you'll feel fine.

But at night you will see me
I'll come in your dreams
Who came in friendship
Who you slayed as it seems.

And your heart will grow cold
That's how it must be
It's the way you try
To not feel guilty.

A cold heart's not human
Not even animal
You'll never know love
Just survival.

Fear and hate will rule you.
I might be dead
But you're dead alive
Heed what I have said.

(I've more to add, but no time. I'll edit it later).
