Death Category: Writing and Poetry Death's sweet and chilling cold embrace Pure and honest friend of the human race Leaves behind no lasting trace Unadulterated, not infiltrated Cut and dried, simply stated Master of children sadly fated Makes all men obliterated Forlorn friend we share this fate We tell our tales and commiserate Waiting for our chance to die At the end of this miserable lie We shrug our shoulders and wonder why Clinging to the things we know Taking comfort to and fro Hoping that we'll never know Death's swift and cunning, cruel hard blow Keeping distracted by the show Trapped inside this bag of flesh Like a clinging cold hard metal mesh Only skin and bones don't stay so fresh Rotting decay like dragon's breath Yet reliable and sure is our death Twisting turning, ever falling The flames of hell are ever calling Where evil demons and dragons are crawling Mary Magdelan is bawling My soul is cursed to hell and falling I've known those walls Walked down those halls Seen those people with no balls Now they're dead with no recall Off into the dancing flames they fall Twisting, flaming, burning, churning Kids in class the lies they're learning So that off to work they'll be earning To make this great big world keep turning In a funeral pyre they'll be burning When their days are through You came from nothing You meant nothing To no one Under the sun Now off you run Your life means nothing You will die and be reunited with nothingness
