Death
So close lingers the shadow of death
Holding on to breath
As you breathe
Not wanting to leave
The life you took for granted
Why do you want it now?
When you handed
Everything
You are to me
Through your own eyes you see
Everything
But self
In your lust to achieve wealth
You overlooked my power
And everything I am
For I am that gun
In your enemies hand
I am diease
That stricken your people
I am that lie
Leaving mouths being deceitful
I am that darkness
You fear throughout life
The blackness you try so desperately to fight
Evedently you can't escape
Only in my presence
You realize your mistakes
Knowing they cannot be undone
As you feel my presence
You know what's to come
In that is my power
For all you claim to be
But at my feet you cower
Recognizing the power
Unlike others you cannot beat me
As I embrace your essence
Memoris flash before thee
As you transcend
Cannot change the middle
Of what you began
It is I who comes
DEATH
The final destination
At the end of life's breath
