Death steals from us all the time
Death loves committing crime
Death eerily robs us of our friends
Sisters, brothers and our dear parents.
Death hurts us all the time
And obliges us to spend every dime
That's saved for tough and rainy days
Death continues to terrorize and amaze.
Death, we don't like you
Back off, stay away from our crew
Which is composed of our loved ones
Death, stay away from our dance.
Death, you're a thief, a trouble maker
A liar, an impostor and a deadly killer
It's a shame that we must fight you every second
Death is a devil who wants to make us all orphaned.

Yes death does all those things but death is inevitable and to cry about it and feel this way is strange better get used to it Who wants to live forever and to some death comes not only as friend but a blessed relief.

Indeed, death is horrible and devastating event of life. The way you displayed bitter painful aspect of it, enforced me to appreciate your creativity and sensitivity needed to compose a poem with intricate theme like death, an unavoidable conclusion and ultimate destination of ife.
An unorthodox view of death, especially for Christians. But you are right: death robs us of friends and family and we have no say in the matter. Death frightens us, because it is unknown what happens then. 'Death you're...A liar, an imposter and a deadly killer'. Who can argue with that?
