Deaths Speech Poem by Wallis minten

There is no reason to run from me
Because everyone will meet me in the end
I am the one every living creature fears
I am the one you call death
You imagine me as a villain
A man who is unfair and crude
However, I'm not like that at all
I find those remarks rather rude
I am not a man who takes a life
Because I find it amusing or right
I am only the man who collects their souls
And helps them go to the light
I return the bodies that came from the earth
Back to where they had came
Out of the body new life will appear
And your body will again be claimed
Do not say that I am a curse
For I make room for the next generation to live
You should not fear me; I will do you no harm
But welcome the gift I will bring
