Lollipops and Death

Lollipops And Death

Death is the final currency
It pays for nothing
Shadows God, lurking in the dark
Takes the last tear
Takes the last drop
Devils and demons hate humanity
Pain and void is their choice for us
Death is the final currency dished out
Takes the soul to nowhere friendly
It gives no lollipops
Only a tombstone and cold hard box
With dirt on top

Hi Gary, Thank you for your sentiments. We are still in shock. My wife is the cat person. I prefer dogs. We had this cat for over 10 yrs. It had a gentle personality. It is amazing how pets impact our lives. I'm glad you liked the poem. With or without this death event I would have written this poem or something like it. Have a great day. Take care. Earl

Good morning Jan. Thank you. Contest? I didn't know there was a contest. Our Burmese cat died suddenly yesterday. My wife and I are very sad so I wrote a death poem. I hope you have a wonderful day. Take care. Earl
