The Intruder's Doom
The Intruder’s Doom
By Curtis Johnson
He hasn’t the time or the tenderness,
To sit and sing a sweet and soothing solo.
He hasn’t the capacity to be concerned
About your feelings, no matter how low.
He invades without a word, a day, a time;
Not even a season or a shadow.
When calling, he fails to identify himself,
And he rarely says hello.
He moves and flows so endlessly,
And never wears a halo.
He bares no good news, but only bad.
Sad tidings become such a fellow.
Sometimes, he appears when you are feeling fine and mellow;
And also when you are sleeping quietly upon your pillow.
Regardless of who we are, none need to make a fuss, because death has an appointment with all of us.
But none need fear death nor its great sting,
Because it shall end with a descending gloom
Even the night and the darkness shall also cease;
And death along with the beast shall be forever doomed
