Death
Our land hold your graves...!
Our dreams evaporate inyou hospital beds..!
You plant pain in our fears.!
and your fruit holds a tear..!
With accidents you ascend..!
With a tiny sleep you descend..!
With arger you approach..!
With lust you reproach..!
Your one visit creates a flood of tears..!
Age and illness..!
are your lethal weapons..!
Tears do not scare you..!
Your invisibility is visible..!
I saw you last night ..!
You waved and smile ..!
But i did not return you greeting ..!
For i knew you would return ..!
To patrol our virgin grave..!
