O' Life and Death

O’ Life and Death

“O’ Death you are such a weakling, 
He takes but I give,
I am so noble,
Yet so humble,
His presence makes men tremble,
Mine is not felt but is thanked,
For I am the great Life,
The giver of joy,
The giver of a chance,
A chance to live,
A chance to be,
A chance to be free….”

“O’ Life you are such proud man,
You may give but I maintain the balance,
You may be noble but I am humble,
My presence prepares a man,
For eternal peace
Yours is never felt,
You may be the giver,
But I don’t simply take, 
For I know what is at stake,
I maintain the balance,
By ending those to whom,
You gave a chance to commit crime,
O’ Life you are but worth just a dime,
And I am but a humble man truly noble…..”
