Reaper of souls

Alone in this world I travel from dawn till setting sun.
Never knowing where my work will take me, or when my journey's done.
As I walk the path I travel, the dead fall beneath my feet.
With one swing of my sickle I harvest their hopeless souls like wheat.
For all of time I've taken them to await their judgement day.
And almost all have begged me to please let them stay.
No matter if they were a giant leader of a nation or just the smallest lad.
I take the young, the old, the sick and the healthy, both good and bad.
I've taken would be Gods like the Pharaohs, and even popes as they knelt to pray.
Couples in-tangled in loves sweet embrace, and sometimes children as they play.
For an eternity I have taken them and if you look upon my face not an ounce of remorse will you see.
FOR I AM THE REAPER OF SOULS AND THAT IS HOW GOD MADE ME!

    Deep poem. Good format. Not what I was quite looking for. How is supposed to turn a suicidal person towards life???

    My mind stumbled a little over the rhyme at times, and I found that the last line would work better if it wasn't in all caps. But all in all, good write.

    good write I feel as though you know how he works, and the fact he could not feel and do his job.
