Oh mysterious one, hidden by life Will you not spare my dear one, my brother? Choose me, oh Death, instead of another. Do you not understand I cause this strife? It is I, your judge, begging for thine knife I will sign his contract. My name, no other Will know you as I do – my life, smothered In the place of his, I pick up death’s fife. Do not fret; your day comes after his time Has ended; naught you can do now but wait For the Scythe to find thine own mortal thread. Until said severance ends this sad rhyme, Do not think about the sisters three: Fate. Live without your brother; he rests his head.

Death's Fate (A Sonnet)
Oh mysterious one, hidden by life Will you not spare my dear one, my brother? Choose me, oh Death, instead of another. Do you not understand I cause this strife? It is I, your judge, begging for thine knife I will sign his contract. My name, no other Will know you as I do – my life, smothered In the place of his, I pick up death’s fife. Do not fret; your day comes after his time Has ended; naught you can do now but wait For the Scythe to find thine own mortal thread. Until said severance ends this sad rhyme, Do not think about the sisters three: Fate. Live without your brother; he rests his head.
