how fortunate we are
those as yet untouched by Death’s grief.
whether when friend, family or foe
are snatched by Its gruesome hands
the Agony is felt and heard alike
but alas! such is life
that gives but takes without regard
from those who still remain alive
who hope to see them once again
but alas!
who wait around
who are left behind
who scream in vain.
