The Grim Reaper by joseph1832(m): 9:56pm On Jun 22, 2015 |
Oh Death! Bath in bones That bellow out shadows of thrones; Resting in a realm full of darkness that churns. Spreading sorrow, anguish, screams And sadness till 'morrow, Leaving faces full of frown That makes the Earth wail Across the sands of time, Causing heartaches to sail Across a sea of anguish and despair, Engulfs and enfolds all caught in its path, Usurping their happiness And replacing with despair, Oh Death!, where is thy sting? 3 Likes 4 Shares |

Grim Reaper- Death is my name I am the great equalizer Silencing all within my path The rich, the poor, the walking, the lame Blood is my currency Life is my enemy Macabre is my fantasy The timeless afterlife is my regency 1 Like |

Joseph, I think we should have a poets' duel.... A duel not of grit and sword But of wit and words Where the pen remains mightier And the sword obsolete 1 Like 1 Share |

It comes swift Swift and rift and spreads, Spreads sorrow, tears and blood It brings anger Anger hate and dread, Dread of morbid fear... It spares no one Animals and plant Are caught in its path It reaps Reaps the heart of love and joy And replace it with sorrow and wailing It is feared Feared by all and sundry Because their dirty laundry Is what attracts it to them It is worshiped Worshiped by those who revere it And even give it a god like status It is plague A plague that spreads like wildfire And consumes all in its path It is destroyer Destroyer of all the things Known to man For man can not tame, Understand or even harness it It is weapon A weapon fashioned And used against all that is living It eats It eats everything in its path Because its appetite can never be sated It is a path A path which all living thing must walk In other to complete the circle of life Oh Death! Where is thy sting?. |
