Upon the guillotine I lie
Waiting for my turn to die
And for what do I owe my death?
Royal blood pumping through royal breast

Born to die, I’ll live on
Long after my flesh is gone
Executioner with hood of black
I curse, “I’ll be back!”

Time, time, time, an imaginary line
Life’s yours; yours not mine
For down comes cold steel of blade
Parting head and neck, blood sprays

Before death I am not alone
The body I stare at is my own
Now to fulfill what I inherited at birth
With darkness I leave this Earth

A darkness that is a part of life and a life that is part of death.  Well written & very poignant.

Very poignant indeed, modern day yet olde..
Well done  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......
