Twice now did the prompt and challenge defeated me. Death on Death (351 words) Goodbye to you Yes, hello, hello I am here I’m sorry to bear bad news: You’re no more, you’ve passed, You’ve gone and spent your last Moments of life. No, there aren’t any games Miracles or second chances Once you died you remain In that state, forever lifeless, forever over! Don’t start to cry now You’re many years too late! Look, there isn’t anything I can do to help, I am just Carrying you to the next World of wonders Probably. I have had enough of this Crying and sobbing At time around death Why can’t you smile for Once when you die Or be happy As I welcome you I hate that you’ve feared Me; I hate that you have Feared a force of nature With a personality Likes and needs So much that you named ‘It’ the ‘Grim Reaper’ I much prefer ‘Death’! I didn’t start off reaping I didn’t start off grim! I started off picking I started off grinning! I am sick of you Being scared of death When it is only the briefest Seconds at the end. People resist being taken As if moving on will hurt As if I will hurt No, I don’t have A loving scythe. I don’t cut you off Your own body did that! I just pick you up So you get on To the next world! I don’t have a steed Of burning skulls I don’t need a ride Of magic bones To bring you out From this place. Do you want to stay Here in this void? The sizzling, swirling, Swaying darkness? Didn’t think so! So shut up and walk With me. No, there is no light, No tunnels either. It’s easy to get lost In the realm of after Death. What’s in the world beyond This realm? I do not know Nor do I care Notice I handle deaths What’s before, What’s after, What do I care. Here at last we reached The end of our team Just give a step Now go on then! Move past! Your life had ended Your death had too
