The Day Death Died
A bang rattles the heavens,
The earth shakes, jiggles, and leavens.
Silence swarms hell. Black darkness!
Humans wonder, panic at the madness!
Close to an hour, darkness prevail.
Close to an hour, hearts fail.
"What happened?" whispers creep in fear.
Then thunder booms from heaven's rear.
Light balloons, sweeps the world.
A voice rings, across the earth whorled:
"It's finished, Death 's dead."
