The Hooded Man With The Sickle Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

The hooded man with the sickle
He comes without invitation
He drops in on all kinds of people
And takes them with no hesitation.

The hooded man with the sickle
He might drop by your place tonight
He may meet you on the road you take
And today, He may snuff out your light.

Live your life like there's no end-
Be ruthless and nasty with your ways,
But when you meet him around the bend
From that man you can't run away.

We all will meet him, no matter what-
Poor, rich, famous or otherwise,
When he swings that sickle, you know that
You breathe your last and close your eyes.
