Grim Prospects

after three night sweats in a
row I knew the end was near
and I had nothing to fear,

when out of the shadows a
dark robed figure near my
bed in a trice did appear,

"you must surely know", he said,
"that you and everyone have had
this condition since birth",

the tonality of his voice was
matter-of-fact; his mission
was clearly not of this earth,

"there's no need to pack your
bags...you won't need them
where you're going,

'cause from the grain the chaff
shall be contained by the prevailing
winds blowing...

I am simply the Reaper".
