Oh Death! Bath in bones
That bellow out shadows of thrones;
Resting in a realm full of darkness that churns.
Spreading sorrow, anguish, screams
And sadness till 'morrow,
Leaving faces full of frown
That makes the Earth wail
Across the sands of time,
Causing heartaches to sail
Across a sea of anguish and despair,
Engulfs and enfolds all caught in its path,
Usurping their happiness
And replacing with despair,
Oh Death!, where is thy sting?

Grim Reaper-

Death is my name
I am the great equalizer
Silencing all within my path
The rich, the poor, the walking, the lame

Blood is my currency
Life is my enemy
Macabre is my fantasy
The timeless afterlife is my regency

Joseph, I think we should have a poets' duel....


A duel not of grit and sword
But of wit and words
Where the pen remains mightier
And the sword obsolete

Lol!. I'm afraid I have to turn down your challenge. Maybe some other time.

It comes swift
Swift and rift and spreads,
Spreads sorrow, tears and blood

It brings anger
Anger hate and dread,
Dread of morbid fear...

It spares no one
Animals and plant
Are caught in its path

It reaps
Reaps the heart of love and joy
And replace it with sorrow and wailing

It is feared
Feared by all and sundry
Because their dirty laundry
Is what attracts it to them

It is worshiped
Worshiped by those who revere it
And even give it a god like status

It is plague
A plague that spreads like wildfire
And consumes all in its path

It is destroyer
Destroyer of all the things
Known to man
For man can not tame,
Understand or even harness it

It is weapon
A weapon fashioned
And used against all that is living

It eats
It eats everything in its path
Because its appetite can never be sated

It is a path
A path which all living thing must walk
In other to complete the circle of life

Oh Death!
Where is thy sting?.
