Death


Death

It is cruel and uncaring 

yet quit and peaceful

It is inevitable 

yet we all run from it

 

It is an ugly thing

yet beautiful 

For it does not discriminate

it takes all equally

 

It is an intelligent being

yet so dumb 

for it takes those that aren't ready

And also those who are more than ready to go

 

It is sweet 

yet undeniably rude

it takes the sick from their pain

yet makes those we leave behind suffer

 

It loves all 

yet hates all who defy him 

It takes them in with his welcoming arms 

Yet rips them away from their family and friends with his claws

 

It is Death

it is kind yet cruel

it loves all yet also hates them

is is sweet and rude 

It is something we all must face
