reaper

Paying the price

Of indifference

Sow a wind of despair

Unshed tears are innocence

When the reaper

Comes looking to share

Like proverbial sheep

Led to slaughter

Defiled,

By an iceingdeath touch

Vile ravens sweeping

Blood in the water

In fear

I use faith as a crutch

My soul is now bleeding

I've been written off

Death angels claws in my hair

Lay still in the dark

Try not to cough

Then remember l really don't care.   Hy
