The Darkest of Knights

Folder: 
Madness

                   As I represent Life

                   I also represent Death



                   Funny how brothers

                   will talk violence trying to

                   intimidate others



                   But you see

                   intimidation to me - is an insult

                   and insults bring out

                   my alter EGO

                   The Grim Reaper



                   Reaping of Souls

                   too ignorant to value their lives

                   though so easily they speak

                   of robbing the lives of others

                   yet not willing to pay the piper

                   consequences - for every action

                   there is reaction



                   They cry out my name

                   trying to Reap my Fame

                   but when I come to

                   claim my seat

                   you can hear the scattering'

                   of feet



                   Some even amuse themselves

                   with Rap and Rhyme

                   up comes the Reaper

                   Rocking and Clocking

                   Brother's Rhyme has been timed



                   Funny how brothers talk

                   for the Grim Reaper

                   has a silent walk



                   I The Grim Reaper

                   am my brothers keeper



                   I The Grim Reaper



                   Reaping of tormented souls

                   -tormented by anger uncontrolled



                   Reaper of lost words

                   -lost in the last calling

                   -of your Lord

                   -like a fallen chord



                   Reaper of Peace....



                   I The Grim Reaper

                   am my brothers keeper

we place far too little value on life don't we? And everyone thinks they will escape the law of cause and effect and slip by the Piper without having to pay. I guess its an illusion we comfort ourselves with as if we could really somehow be the exception to life's great rule.
I have really enjoyed reading your poetry and will return again. I'm glad I "accidently" tripped over your page.
