Death-From time immemorial

Who are You?
I am the Omega,
I am the end of everything,
I was meant to be,
>From time immemorial.

But, who are You?
I am the cause of pain,
I am the cause of joy,
You are the source of strength,
You cause distabilization,
>From time immemorial.

The real You, Death?
The stoppage of a heart beat,
My blood stops circulation,
My brains stop thinking,
My body gets motionless,
I become cold!
>From time immemorial.

>From time immemorial.
A thing is,
A thing is not,
You had the beginning,
You have the ending,
Death.

>From time immemorial.
You left us with good memories,
You left us with bad memories,
You left us thinking,
You left us wondering,
Death.

>From time immemorial.
You came,
You gone,
You were sudden,
You are sudden,
Death.

>From time immemorial.
I curse you,
And I cry genuinely,
I love you,
And I cry a Monkey's,
Death.

>From time immemorial.
We never got used to you,
We shall never get used to you,
You are predictable,
You are unpredictable,
For you are undemocratic,
Death.

The generation is fast dissapearing,
Great minds are going,
Great minds are gone,
Great ideas remain,
You will never conquer us,
Death, from time immemorial.

Lulu Johnson, June 2003
