Waiting for Death,
For someone else's reaper.
Mr. Death came for them,
In a sharp suit,
Unafraid of getting soiled,
By blood of the battlefield,
Nor of waste and rubbish.
Not of old flaking skin,
Or tears of youthful.
He takes their hand,
A comforting embrace.
His cane clacks in the hallway,
Away they stride,
Casting the likes of me aside.
