Life's Henchman

Through the magnifying lips,
About all, even if illusions,
"I have had a few than what is due for dreams,
And lived most of them true..." 
"I have had my fair share of nightmares,
all which unscathed, I stumped through..."
All mere hallucinations.
"...I have slept through insomnia
And walked all day in coma,"
Figments of a drunken mind
Driven by a cluster of self-serving emotions.
Filled with only wishes of dying once in a life time;
Everyone knows the angel of death is a fair man!
Except from the brown tale by life's henchman
About how it has nary complexion,
and nay it is human.
