I AM DEATH (A Soliloquy)

You don't want to see me.
I am the end that you fear,
the raven of despair's anatomy
who strips the life you held dear.

No walls can hinder my coming,
no locked doors can keep me away
it is all about the timing.,
the moment fate calls me to slay.

You think I am evil but you're mistaken.
I finalize the agony of pain's reign.
I return to the weak, the peace forsaken
and release them from earthly chains.

I am fair in my dealings,
striking down young and old,
slaves and mighty kings,
the poor or the keepers of gold.

The living shells fall into endless slumber
and I'll guide their souls to face judgement
for all the deeds they've gathered altogether,
shall reveal eternal bliss or punishment.

I am the one who opens the door
to send them where He wills them to be.
I'm just a tool, nothing more.
It is in His wrath that your fear should be.
