When Death Suddenly Strikes

Death continues to shock us Death will not stop striking us It is a natural phenomenon It is a sad oxymoron When death comes without invitation The only option is to welcome her Without words, with pleasure, and resignation When she strikes, we put out head together To deal with the unknown and our past We think about our own fate About our ultimate date About our loved ones, who have passed And we become unnecessarily upset, mad Disoriented, helpless, hopeless, and sad When death strikes, things become crazy We lose it for awhile, we become unhappy It is not a pretty thing When one can do nothing About something.
