Death, You Arrogant Fool

Death, You’ve reared your ugly head again Disguising not your attempts to hurt It is vile the way you speed in, taking That which, rather whom, we so love It is with hatred of you I write this The pain you now cause for those I love The hurt they have, unanswered questions I feel hatred for you, but wish you not death For then I would become you I then would be heartless and cold I ask only that your swiftness was in kindness And that no pain was felt upon his passing Death, you may have won this time, again But know that when we enter into our new lives We will have the last laughs
