The Reaper

The reaper is among us

It is watching us survive

It brings the reaper joy to know

That we are still alive

The reaper must be happy

Because it knows that we are not

Living in a place like this

Where 'happy' has no spot

The reaper sits there waiting

To give the kiss of death

To make us reach the moment

Of taking our last breath

The reaper is a murderer

The reaper kills our joy

The reaper plays with lives

As if they are a toy

Who could be the reaper?

I'll tell you if I must;

The reaper is society

A society made of us.
