Death of Lives

Now is before
Now is after
After death
After life
Life brings death
Life takes happiness
Happiness brings joy
Happiness brings light
Light is hope
Light hides darkness
Darkness is scary
Darkness brings fear
Fear is weakness
Fear brings pain 
Pain hurts 
Pain brings strength
Strength blinds humanity
Strength is power
Power is money
Power belongs to society
Society is planned
Society is overrated
Overrated is life
Overrated is love
Love is perfect
Love is fragile
Fragile is life
Fragile is hope
Hope is light
Hope is comfort
Comfort in life
Comfort at heart
Heart is big
Heart is broken
Broken light 
Broken trust
Trust is given
Trust is taken
Taken hope
Taken for granted
Granted my heart 
Granted my love
Love is gained
Love is lost
Lost ones 
Lost lives
Lives are taken
Lives are given
Given...
Taken…

This is a wonderful blitz Kay! Many cannot make it flow and make sense but you've done both!
