Death


Why art thou in a rush

Like a little baby just hush 

Refuse to knock at my door for  now 

For there is no room for thou 

Quietly and peacefully, leave my land

And with haste, depart from my house

For I do not want you in there

Because your only motive is making people fear 

So now what are your plans death?

Who do you plan on taking next?

Who do you plan on taking from the world?

Tell us now so we can run

Maybe far far away from you 

Even though you'd catch us still

With all my heart, I do despise you 

But yet,I  know you're part of life too

It is I and not you to blame

For I'm just afraid of fate 

Because I haven't really lived life

Enough to join you in your ride

So please do not visit me today 

Just like rain on a very bright sunny day

Do not come

And take me all at once

For when you do

I'd look like a fool

Because I haven't really lived 

In such a way that I'd be happy to finally leave
