Death Is Silent

Death is silent
It hides high in the nights confinement
Vile and violent
Minding a time to try us
And remind us
That we cry when time is denied us
To incite this
Fear of death inside us
Death is spineless
It will find men that you confide in
and confine them in asylum
Make those that you dine with and reside with
the same lives that you will pine for in silence
Death is mindless
Nevermind the genotype or phylum
Its designed to find and defile us
From afar, Senegal to Rikers Island
Deaths not confined to latitude lines or mileage
Death is timeless
Theres no sense to fight with
The violent nihilist
Binding the eyes of the lifeless
But such that life is aligned with
Deaths assignment
Dont let it define you, you define it
