Everybody Dies

The darkness sits in silent allegiance

As the evil fills the air

He goes unseen but his presence is felt

For Death is everywhere

He wanders through the darkest streets

While hiding from the light

He watches while you kiss your children

And bid them all goodnight

For Death doesn't care who he takes

He regards us all the same

Until it's time to harvest your soul

Then he calls you by your name

Sometimes it's only a whisper

Or a feeling you just can't shake

Sometimes it's when you're fast asleep

Never again to wake

He's watching while you read this verse

You can feel his hungry eyes

So rest assured your time will come

For everybody dies

Holy...wow. Creepy and amazing. The words flow easily and I like the dark tone to it. Nice work :)

This is really amazing!!! I had an amazing visual aid the whole time i was reading it and i really loved the darkness of it.

Wow, brings a chill. This reminds me of The Book Thief (not sure how to underline this), but the whole book is told from the point of view of Death.
I am enjoying reading your work!

Oh my, it flows through ones mind with a fluid motion almost comparable tho that of a gallop. The way I heard it in my head had a diferent feeling than that of th poem which was interesting. Always a pleasure

One can really see your years of experience in every piece you write.

Magnificent. Constant flow, and a chilling tale.. The 'Death doesn't care who he takes' part, that's the part that got me thinking. Awesome work.
