Death

By Daryl Bracken

Death
By: Daryl Bracken

Time for me to look at what I have done
As I sit waiting for another one
I have never caused the suffering or pain
with each passing I have recived no gain

How would things be if I wasn't around
No graves or tombstones littering the ground
No release from the suffering, How profound

without me to come to you in this time of need
from this body you could never be freed
you would suffer forever no matter your plees

None are right in their belief
My function is to bring you relief
I do this with your life's release

by most I am called the Reaper or Death
I will be there when you take your last breath
