When Death Becomes a Cleaning Agent

 

Death is sometimes nature’s way of cleaning its mess

A natural way of extinguishing society’s garbage

like the white blood cells fighting the bacteria and viruses

the unseen angel of death do likewise at indeterminate speed.

 

What present life would have been if the likes of Pharaoh Seti or Herod continue to reign?

or Hitler and Kaddafi has the power of immortality

or any imbecilic ruler who forever reigns

death solves the problem by not making their power an infinity.

 

So there’s no point of finding the philosopher’s stone or a certain elixir

or the so called fountain of youth that can offer and eternal glow and beauty.

or raving the nymph in the river Styx…

 

ah! just a make believe and sure it’s hard to understand!

For death is intelligent, and is a master genius of its own

and can be sometimes nature’s caliginous cleaning agent.

so better to be at peace with anyone instead.
