Death
Waiting for you at your gate...
Death
At what stage?
What do you know about death?
What will you tell death?
Wait?
I don't, death shall say
You had enough time
To repay your loan
what you owe to the Divine, the seers,
your parents, and the manes...
Everything while living shall be returned with gratitude...
But you didn't...
Now it's my time to take you back with me
I won't listen to anything...
You had returned lives
In the past, I know
Won't you be kind on me?
I'm not asking you out
On a dinner date
It's an eternal wait
If you don't consider
People shall speak ill about you,
Oh, dear, Death...
That they may
I don't bother
The world bows infront of me
I make them other-worldly
In the literal sense of the term
I don't wish
Death-wish is for the ones here
before leaving
For the hereafter...
I do turn them mute
Just imagine, how everything seems
In the muteland
I tell you departed souls seem crazy
Thereafter...
Unable to express what they want to...
In the hereafter
they all become weird,
more absurd to
what absurdists teach here...
Trust me on this
Your time here is over...
