Silent Enemy



Not a sound is made,
while the trap is laid.
Death finds us all,
regardless of how long we stall.

A thief comes in the night,
whether we do wrong or right.
A shadow filled with greed,
our lives are Death's one need.

Life is dear, and sweet until...
the waiter comes, holding the bill.
Time to settle your debt,
were you kind, or struggle with regret?

Last heart beat, empty chest,
legacy moves forward, without rest.
The enemy has lost, as some life does remain.
Sewn into the tapestry of life, death is but a stain.

Death cannot take all we leave behind.
Ideas, blessings, and a good will for mankind.
To do it this way, a sacred oath to keep.
Fear not the Reaper, instead make him weep.

The enemy speaks not, but I am quite loud.
The enemy skulks, while I walk proud.
Stare the enemy down, and do so with a smile.
Let the silent enemy go on, burdened by my denial.
