Death Triumphs

Teenage Rantings...

Death is all around us,

Consuming all that is living.

But why does He always

Start with the good?

Why won’t He give the good a chance

To make right what’s wrong with this world?

Because He is evil.

He loves what has been done to the world,

He loves the havoc he has caused.

He’s a demon,

Sweeping over the Earth

Like a shadow,

Taking all the good with him.

But what joy does He get

Out of my suffering?

Why won’t He leave

My friends and family alone?

Why won’t He take me

In their place?

Because the demon takes pride

In what He does.

But I have found a way

To work around His plan.

If I take my own life,

He can no longer

Be joyous with my suffering.

But wait!

That’ll just mean Death won –

He has me as a trophy

In His cabinet of The Dead.

There is NO way

Around the plan.

Death never loses…

Yeah, you're not the only one who considered divinity to be evil� any realistic person would gives this idea some thought.

The fact about death is a good ending, even if it reflects the cruelty witch we have to endure, and our lack of power.
