An inevitable force
A selfish beast that feeds on anyone he meets
A raging magnet, attracting innocents with deceit
He bears no mercy for the young, the rich or the poor
The famous or the infamous
Sometimes, he takes away the people we cherish the most
Leaving us in tatters and in excruciating pain.
Sometimes, he takes us away gently
Lulling us into eternity through our sleep
Painlessly, sweetly and carefully
Drifting us to either heaven or hell
Where we watch our loved ones and the rest of the world mourn.
But in other cases, it tears us away without warning
Through the help of other evil, selfish mortals,
He spears, guns, slices and rips our flesh apart
Wielding his scythe, he removes our souls from our bodies
Leaving us as mere hollow containers
With our loved ones crying their eyes out beside our caskets.
After suffering, we want to end it
To let it all go
After all, there's nothing left to live for
We stare at the cup of Sniper tea
Muttering our last prayers, we gulp it down
Feel the poison destroy every cell in our body
Writhing in pain and anguish, we hope for it to end soon
It does, but quickly replaced by a new kind of torture
In the burning pits of hell.
When old age takes us,
We will be among the dead,
But let no mournful words be said
We were happy all our lives
Our three sons we married right
And their sons we rocked at night
Now, leave me to my quiet rest
In the region of the blest.
Nobody wishes to die
What nobody seems to realize
Is that Death is our only means of escape
From the horrors of this world.
