History Of Death! Poem by John Ugolo Umah

Does it really respect?
No
It comes after a breath

are there really apparitions?
Yes
in both white and black

it takes out breath from all living
it comes through the window
it has never fail on assignment

does it show sympathy?
No
death enjoys killing

does it kill with joy?
Yes
for all it lives for, is kill

death
death, what natural phenomenon
death

death
death, the inevitable friend
death

death
death, all living must take from you
death

death to the rich
death to the poor
death to all with no question

death, have we overcome for all eternity
death, we would not die again to you
death, we now live with the word as light

death, have we overcome
death, reminder of eternity
death, only route to that place...
