A fortunate fade to black
The sorrow of a heart attack
Rendered on the morning news
Dispersal of chaotic views
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
War in the eastern lands
Soaring over burning sands
Oaths taken for revenge
Of the time, we know not when
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
Opponents take respective sides
Bolstered by strong allies
Conflicts registered in words
God and country, undeterred
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
Magic forces contemplate
Destruction in the Hormuz Strait
Ships at sea sing of when
Quiet will return again
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
Poverty is now maintained
Inner cities, outer lanes
Crumbling in the heat of day
Morticians feast in this melee
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
Jealous jokers do debates
Saviors on the scene too late
Blood and treasure, all for naught
No one dies if none are caught
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
An open window sucking air
If by chance you linger there
Caution is a holy word
Take care not to be disturbed
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
A thousand feet above the ground
Birds of prey still abound
Pointed at the looming sky
All face judgment, all will cry
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
A poem taught unto a child
Echoes in the afterwhile
Truths unspoken congregate
No route provided for escape
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
Helter skelter, knees will bend
When the games have reached their end
The darkening of a clouded morn
Listen closely, be forewarned
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
If I tell of my own sin
Will you love me once again?
I dare not take that step alone
Otherwise, that fault I own
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
A graying of the azure blue
A promise made, a promise true
I must turn my head and cough
Or face up to this horrid loss
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
Names are spoken, in the night
An incantation of delight
Witches brew, the cauldron hot
Until their potion spills the pot
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
None are fooled by this fine dance
All is left to a game of chance
Sitting at the theater’s edge
A dangle on the narrow ledge
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
If I fail to mention clear
The likelihood of finding fear
Gift me with forgiveness, please
Here I am, a humbled breed
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
Envision what cannot be seen
A shadow across the projection screen
In that whisper, much revealed
The sting of justice, wounds unhealed
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
The reaper comes
