“Death”
The tidings of sorrow.
The worries of yesterday
All fade when this one shows you the way

The touch of fate
That claims mens souls
Renders then them helpless, they have no control

The one of darkness who serves the light
Comes forth to take us away
Steals what is not his to take, the joy of loved ones from our day

He feels no remorse
For the ones he takes
Nor does he have any compassion for those at stake

Bringing from this life to the next
To your judgment
To your final test

It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.

I've learned that even when you

Hey,

          I have not read much of your work but this poem really got to me for some reason. I really enjoyed it and I am going to put it in my library. Keep up the great work, I am now really looking forward to reading more of it. Until your next masterpiece

This was an interesting read. I thought you did ok. I didn't like it that much for some reason. It didn't click with me. You wrote it fine, but my personal opinion says no....oh well....to each his own eh?
