DEATH


Death oh death
How terrible you are
Ugly like a monkey
Shameless like a dog
As fast as a cheetah
 
Death oh death
How merciless you are
Inhumane and selflessness
Inconsiderate and very destructive you are
Who can fathom your wroth and joy, death?
 
Oh death! Oh death!! Oh death!!!
Morning and night you never spear
Spring and winter you always ere 
Can laughter, wealth, poverty or wretchedness;
Can mourning stop your actions?
 
Why have you taken the on so dear
I don't known how to address you here
I don't see you but over me dare
Sophisticated death that lives in a sophisticated zone
One day I'll meet you and mercilessly I'll crush your bones!

I'm a poetic engineer... Lol. I write poems and novels and I'm currently studying electronic and computer engineering in the university. I'm from Enugu state in the Eastern part of Nigeria. I love friends around the world. I know I'm the best poet and novelist in my generation.
