Death,, magnificent in its
simplicity,
Has but one rival, just one
That is universally condemned
As a cause of human misery,
Just one whose agents reduce
Strong men to pathetic whiners,
Beseeching the darkening sky,
For understanding and
forgiveness .
Always the culprit, never viewed
As a necessary, even
efficacious,
Contributor to our well-being,
Though, in truth, our rich
culture would be reduced,
To abject poverty, a nation
without defense,
Unable to secure our borders and
way of life,
Without this other, omnipresent,
destroyer of worlds.
Let us genuflect at the feet of
the
Two princes of darkness. Death
and taxes.
