Analysis of Death
Life is full of Death
It comes everyday
It looms over us
Waiting to take it's prey
It's everywhere at once
Dancing it's horrible dance
Finding that deserve to live
And take their last breath
It twists and turns in the air
Causing fear for us
Not knowing if we'll see another day
Not knowing if will see dusk
It haunts us day and night
Causing tears and grief
It's the world's best murderer
The one they can not see
