Death casts a smile upon us all,
But its never a happy one.
We wake each morning with a groan,
As our life slowly comes undone.
Nothing we can do will help,
Nothing we can say will take it away,
Just sitting quietly and waiting,
Time ticking by day-by-day.
But feel assured you'll one day die,
As the clouds overhead pass us by.
Don't lose hope from within yourself,
Sooner or later six feet under you will lie.
There are no exceptions to this rule,
There are no ways around it.
No human can live forever,
Something Shinigami won't permit.
Please tell me what you think

Superb
A most excellent and poignant write. Imagery, rhythm and rhyme are just fine. This poem reminded me of two classical poems: 1) The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. (Here's a link to it:

2) Death Be Not Proud, by John Donne, here's a link to it: http://www.bartleby.com/105/72.html
