Death
Of no use is to death what kills.
of no likeness to it the force and might
that send souls flocking away
in the name of what’s wrong or right.
No interest does it also keep in what wills
to love; to sacrifice; to die
a liberating death.
It dislikes
to visit that which invites
it and doesn’t tremble upon the sight
of the Grim Reaper’s Scythe.
It’s not bent on receiving
what came unto it
from the light
that gave it life.
It comes easy to those
who wrestle with pain,
for it’s the only time
they don’t feel the need
to put up a fight.
Death isn’t a ghost that frights
you under the shaded hues of the night.
It isn’t a void that sucks you in,
but the ailment that grants you a respite
from the dimming lamp of life.
Save all, now, that are nullified
to the scare of death.
Save those who love and suffer,
those that give away life
and don’t stutter.
Save them,
and those that are left
are taken away by its force,
and that’s one way to go.
Of those who escape its grasp
are none; only those that
escape its wrath
and those that don’t.
