Death sits upon the shore, eyes agaze
Ready to collect us away
from this eternal haze.
To bring the Runaways,
Back to their Doorways.
To bring men home from War
From climbing that fatal pitch
To satisfy the poor.
To equalize the rich.
For that, is Death's final true test,
To lay us down to absolute rest.

After struggling through many hardships and facing death in a staring contest many times, He keeps blinking, but one day he will get me. So why run.
