Death, Please Have Mercy
Why does death have to come?
Can we just stay alive?
Without having to test death?
You leave me with sores,
Deep within my soul,
Death, please have mercy on this generation-
Oh, please...
All we want is a stress-free life.
Leave us alone, you death,
To spend our entire life on earth.
You bring sorrows to our lives,
Without having solutions to our worries,
Oh, you death-
Can we just have a peaceful life?
You have taken all I know,
Including my kin, leaving me in the streets
Now I am somebody unknown;
I am so shocked by your cruelty.
You strike without knocking,
Happy when people mourn,
Excited when caskets are lowered into the ground.
Why do you have to invade our joyous moments?
leaving us orphaned, widows, widowers?
Have pity on the human race,
Oh, death, could you just take a leave,
Or a long holiday?
