Death

The mastermind,
The puppet master,
The strategist and tactical analyst.

Direct, succinct and to the point.
Do not waste time and time does not waste thee.
Clear, concise, precise,
Always ready to execute.

To me all men are the same,
Dispensible,
Unreliable, unrepentant and unrelenting.
Hubris clouds their judgement,
And greed fills their hearts.
Not even kindness can save them from me.

Cruel, calculating and severe,
I cut down anything that stands in my way.
There is not a single being that survives me,
Or that can tame me.
I persevere.

Give in to my warm embrace
And face your fears.
Let all regrets go.
Take a last deep breath,
Release the tension in your body.

As we walk gently into the good night
Remember the love and the hope.
Where you are now there’s no need for tears,
For pain,
For suffering.

You are safe.
You are free.
You are me.
Rest in piece.
