The Unwanted Visitor

THE UNWANTED VISITOR He is slow and fast and always comes so sudden If he pays you a visit, he will be an inevitable burden He visits everybody he wants to, there is never exclusion There is no age-bound; the old, young and the unborn are an inclusion Everybody knows this visitor and why he visits and never wishes he visits Death; the punctual visitor that leaves his host and hostess late when he visits. If this visitor visits you, how will you welcome him? He comes always to take not to give, what will you give him? He is the time-keeper that doesn’t state the time and season he visits If you happen to be the unlucky host, what time will you wish he visits? The august visitor that visits every month unannounced to his timed hosts Death; the wicked visitor that causes sorrow to all who relates to his timed hosts. He does not just make things seem bad, he makes it worse He is always the necessity that leaves every choice a curse There may be but haven’t seen anyone who wants him around In a twinkle of an eye, he can make a noisy hall absence of sound For every suicide; seconds to go, anybody on suicide will wish to be alive Death; the unwanted inconsiderate visitor that never leaves his hosts alive. …Lordvip…
