Guess this is my debut poem to this section, I normally stay in Teen Poetry 5. Tell me what you think.

The Messenger

Many people say that they laugh in the face of death
That no matter what comes
Death cannot touch them
It will never take them

But what happens to them
When the Raven comes
When it spreads is black wings
And comes for them

The Raven brings them a task
One that they cannot help but take
Only if they are smart
Will they live

The Raven comes to them
It tells them what to do
The arrogance of the person it comes to
Drives them to take that which the Raven brings

The Raven is always there
It makes sure they do what He asked them to
It sits there watching
Never ruffling a single black feather

The Raven takes what it came for
After the task is done
It takes your soul
To it’s dark master, Death

Then it perches on his shoulder
It’s blazing red eyes watching
His black feathers never move
He never flinches a muscle

Watching
Waiting
For his next victim

Forever watches
The Raven

To me the black crow is fear.We do not understand death so we are afraid.Death uses that fear to intimidate us.Try to develop an understanding of death.Wither you belive in an after life or not.Embrace your belief with with all your soul and you will not fear the Black winged messenger.

BrokenAngel,
It made me think of The Crow.
Therefore, I like it.
