Ready?

Demons walk upon the earth
Hidden forms, have human birth
Devils, they, who take not give
Death to us, is how they live.

Think for a moment, if you please
Is death the end? I ask with ease.
For then we meet the chosen one
God the father, His Holy Son.

So, death, then isn’t all that bad
Though when it’s others, we feel sad.
But, if to die by another’s cause
Is that a reason to give pause?

Remember, to where, we can ascend
So, death for now is not the end
And if a demon should come to call
Tell him you are ready and that is all.
