Death: A Quick And Subtle Shock

Death is a quick and subtle shock An event that no one can mock Death always comes as a surprise Like an unwanted or undesired prize. Death is a forced trip That no one wants to take The subject is drowned in the lake An accident than no one can fake. With eyes shut and sealed lips The victim is mute, blind, deaf And immobile. An unhumorous theft Has taken place in the valley of death. Death is a sad and serious matter It is everywhere, standing at the corner Like a quick electrical shock That no one can avoid and mock.
