O death with your dearth

You birth sorrows with arrow precision

You collect the best amongst us

You rest the wanted as you leave the rest

You still steal as we still expect more

You create centers of interaction out of sorrow

Yes you are death and you dearth discourses

As we see you we know we will miss some

As you miss the useless you make us miss the useful

As you remove spokespersons you become a graveyard spokesperson

You unite in sorrow for you killed joy already

A tributary of ending friendships you became

An opportunity for tributes to angelize you create

As you pass countries lose their best

As you settle the remaining best contest to know you

Corpses become celebrities as legacies turn into monuments

Yes you create statues at graveyards and love statues to the bereaved

 

As for us of the liberation movement

You presence moved us to the other life

At your altar we continue our hegemonic battles

At your alter we factionalize the dead

We attack the living, we institutionalize what we wish dead

O death why art thou
