Grim Reaper

Grim Reaper Grim Reaper 
Come to awaken the dreamless sleeper 
With gown of black and scythe in hand 
Beside one’s soul you’ll patiently stand.

Assured of one’s soul I know you’ll wait 
Your beckoning portends one’s morbid fate
Escorting one from this world to the next
Never likely to runout of guests.

Modern man lives ensconced in ignorant bliss
Until jolted by death’s cold passionless kiss
Come and awaken the dreamless sleeper 
Grim Reaper Grim Reaper.
