death lies about us all everywhere afar and around

there is death in silence and of a day old dream

the death of a love gone un found and upon the finality

of its grizzly tail

there rides an unscrupulous scream

it often seems reasonable in appearance

yet calm within its own masked hell

after all, death lives by no regulations nor rules

but those of an all knowing God

and its not so secretive or selective in its choice

of who it will next choose and fell

so it need not spare anyone mercy at the hands of such

a cold, rigid rod

it cares not who is left behind

to grieve for the suffered and the stricken

still the population continues to escalate

perhaps so death's numbers can continue to thicken

and so is for the era of a better, newer man

strength and endurance are what's needed to take on

these forces that were formed to fail as they fan....
