Death Angel Poem by John Smith

Death Angel
Death Angel
why do you stare at me so?
I know that it's me you have come to take,
I can feel it's my time to go.

Death Angel
Death Angel
I know why you wear a grin.
The time has come to punish me,
to make me pay for all of my sins.

Death Angel
Death Angel
is your silence to mourn-
the passing of a foolish man,
like the calm before the storm?

Death Angel
Death Angel
why do you stand so still?
Am I not worthy of a single move?
Will I be that easy to kill?

Death Angel
Death Angel
why do you torment me so?
Why not just get it over with-
and take me, it's my time to go!

Death Angel
Death Angel
why do look to my right?
Oh no, my son!
Oh no, my son!
He's playing just outside!

How long has it been since I last checked on him?
Ten minutes, maybe more?
Death Angel
Death Angel
I will not let you take him!
I have to beat you to the door!

My son!
My son!
come back over here now!
Don't wander off that far!
What's that noise?
Oh no the road!
Son look out, a car!

Death Angel
Death Angel
what more can I say?
I've lost my wife,
and now my son.
I'll see you again by the end of the day.
