Death
They call to me,
Man begs for me,
Life needs me,
All men,
Eventually use me,
In evil,
In vain,
For good,
Or just to pass through me,
When I come,
War is upon me,
I never served men greater,
Even now,
Man is lucky,
How free,
How easy,
It is to find me,
I cost so much,
But not money,
Men run towards the enemy,
Not knowing,
They are running towards me,
I am terrifying,
Yet always welcoming,
When life is done,
Life will give you to me,
And I will hold you,
For some one greater,
Than me,
I am the gate,
From you to Him,
How much power,
Possesses me,
Yet some do not fear me,
I can take you,
When you use me,
But I can’t keep you,
Because He wants you,
And loves you,
I am death.
