I am death.
I will greet you in silence
Hold your hand right in mine
I will give you a hug
As you’re saying goodbye
I am hated by some
And sought by others
Though I never endure pain
Only instant relief of suffering
I work everyday
No holidays or sick days
Though I hate war
For my hours are extra long and busy
I’ve been to all the biggest world catastrophes
And carried off all the greatest people
I’ve even had tea with the queens
People usually panic
Though it never seems to help
They try to escape from me
Yet it never does work out
They also try to out run me
Yet I always win the race
I have always been watching you
With binoculars from above
I am the shadow you see in the distance
And the bright white light that will soon consume you
I always come close to greeting you with open arms
Telling you about my day
Yet right when I’m about to tie a friendship bracelet on
You quickly slip away
Don’t worry
Your time will soon come
However before I pick you up for our never ending sleepover
I encourage you to be peaceful and live fully
Don’t forget about me though, I will not forget about you
I am death.
