When death comes

Death comes in the night

A silent figure in the gloom

Awaiting that fateful moment

Of  life's immenent doom

Your spirit will leave your body

Your appointed time is up

You've committed your atrocious sins

You've overflowed your cup

For you death will be frightfull

To the Depths with your cold heart

Your journey doesn't end there

For you it's just the start.

I believe in justice and revenge

Movies where the villain who has tortured and tormented people often die a quick death, pisses me off. But I have no belief karma or the afterlife will do it. I wish a living misery of pain on perpetrators. Forgiveness is for our own salvation, not theirs. cheers, Jess
