A friend not a foe,
A mate that conveys liberation and not oppression
If only they would realize your occupation
If only your fearers would know and understand your existence
They fear you but you are a resort to many setbacks
They hate you but you seize them unto everlasting love
They try and run while you migrate us into an everlasting life
You are the Tomorrow that awaits us all
The inevitable then that none of us can escape
Your Antonym is not Life
You only die when there's Birth
Your Antonym is Birth
You only live when there's Death
Life is a gift
A gift given unto us all
Life is universal; Rich or Poor
Death is an award
An award we are bound to receive
We will all attain you; Rich or Poor
Although you always come and go
We still wish you would never come again and go
Although you keep on snatching our beloved ones
We are still not used to your ruthless ability to steal
Although you pilfer away the life in our flesh
You are never weary in your repulsive skill to fetch
You will never win
You will never triumph over Everlasting Life
You can't kill a liberated Soul
You will always be vehicle into a faultless land
You will always chauffeur us back to our creator
We may burst out and cry when you strike
But in our understanding and knowledge there exist our might
An understanding and knowledge that you are bound to strike
A strike that misses and brings us unto everlasting life
A life when you cannot strike no more
There is power in us knowing that you will strike no more
Yes no more shall we cry when you come
No more shall we shed tears when you go
For all you do is bring a better life
It is to this reason,
I declare; Death, you are a Friend not a foe
Yes many percieve death as liberating from this world and entry into another and better life.
