Death – Cui bono? (Who benefits?)

 

The night familiar

insomnia reigns – perhaps

 

the fleeting desire to do

all that’s left undone

 

to sip from the cup

half full remains…

 

The innocent babes who leave

greeted by angels above

 

fear nothing for there is only love.

The wicked, so they say,

 

must repent and atone

their sullen hearts they alone

 

have the duty to redeem – but why?

Seems to me both the bold and the meek

 

enjoy at the end an eternity

of joy, so to speak

 

for none are to be left

simmering in mundane pain

 

this world imposes. So mourn away

you that grieve. The day or night will arrive

 

when death you too shall achieve.
