"Ode to death"

A black abyss

So quick and cold

Not a friend, nor a foe

But always there

Bony fingers curl

And thin lips smile

Eyes frigid, unemotional

Hidden under invisible night cloak

Sea of red

Or desert dried

Intake, gasping wheeze

Sudden train stop

It's unbeatable,

No one win's, yet they do

A special lottery

For you and me

His friend is life

Lives in hell or heaven

Moving and slithering

Sneaky mamba snake

You cannot escape

It is faith

You know his name
