Hey, Death! Have you lost all your radiance? Where is your iconic, conspicuous venom? Sadly, you have no gripping tales to tell. Cast a spell to discover the origins of fate. Who has felt the agony of death? You are chastised for cursing Him. Let losers cry, and the cowardice will fade. These blows knock you down. Don't be stingy; apply your best effort. I'll be a punter than I was the day before. Your most lethal consequence is extinction.
Written: October 29, 2022 Inspired by George Herbert's poem: A Dialogue-Anthem
