The Death of Death
It reminisces on its early age
When death was life and life was death
When brutally massacring Life was “not so bad…”
When it still felt obliged to its inherent obligation
It bathes in sorrow soaps
Sulks in cream colored ashes
Snuggles with it’s dear old buddies
Down, and underground.
It meditates in the umbrage of a weeping willow
Remembering His plan – His desires, His suffers –
The plan; the one and only plan.
It’s Inevitable.
It realizes that its sins are no longer repentable.
It bleeds out its griefs,
Turning the tears of sorrow into tears of blood–
Dried up blood that can’t be cleaned and stains the world
But, the priest is fed to death.
He is done.
Death is doomed.
It feels remorse.
It awaits,
Feasting it’s bloodshot eyes on The Door
The same door that it awaited victims to knock on
So it could do its deed
Well, this time, The Door awaits Death
It prepares to relieve Death of Death’s ways
To reward Death's commitment to humanity
It did to Death what Death did best
Death died
(but don't worry, every Death has a replacement)
