Death Returns

Death Returns                          March 21, 2009

Death returns a nasty elixir 
We are each expected to swallow 
At the Doctor's behest. 
It is not pretty, and in fact, 
Is very reminiscent of the last tango 
That occurred just a scant week ago. 
The books hit hard, box fast, 
Laboriously painting a new fixture of us 
As we are destined to ride 
On the speed train to Hell. 

I often wish that if our fates 
Are to be so determined 
By such an unsightly figure, 
That we be given a choice 
In the manner in which we are delivered to Creation. 
Instead, the most demeaning fashion 
Of lost love or no love to wish us peace 
Wreaks havoc upon our countenances 
And plagues us with fear of the impending factor. 
Pain is of the utmost splendor to these folk, 
And I dare say that if cursed we be, 
We shall remain zombies forever more.
