Death came knocking - An Apocalyptica poem

 



Death came knocking

on that cold, misty morn,

as birds were welcoming

the early crack of dawn.

He knocked and knocked,

but no answer did come.

For little did he know,

death had already

been and gone.

His little furry friend,

had crept through

the darkness of night,

just to put an end,

to the faltering life lights,

those lives flickering

like broken streetlights.

 

Death came knocking,

The weather kicking up a storm.

The wind whipping

his gown away,

and now he was forlorn.

For there he stood

naked as the day he was born,

Open to the elements,

the leaves in the trees

with mirthful glee, 

did sway.

 

Death came knocking,

dressed in a flowery frock.

Grabbed from a washing line,

It was either that or a sock.

His bones sat in shock,

trying to hide their misery,

but Death

had a smile on his face,

He thought

the dress was pretty,

but when he figures out

who is doing his work,

he thinks he may just snap

 

As the early worm

dug in deep,

the birds still looking

for something to eat.

Daisy the cat watched

the scene merrily,

screeching a high-pitched meow,

"I am Death now.

Old bones

should just

throw in the towel"
