Time Is The Enemy

“People are dying  
Who have never died before”  
My dad used to say  
Now that he’s one of them it’s not funny anymore  
 
My mom had delusions  
Just before she died  
As sad as it was  
I still never cried  
 
Taught to know that  
Everyone will leave  
Ending up (deep)underground  
It doesn’t matter what you believe  
 
“Do not go quietly into that good night”  
A wise man once said  
But no matter how much we disdain it  
We will all end up dead  
 
As time is the enemy  
To all of us, you see  
It will take you to your funeral  
For your friends and family to see  
 
But until the time  
That soldier takes your soul  
Life is for the living  
Until the living takes its toll  
 
Maybe I should fear  
Maybe I should cry  
Maybe I should tremble  
Because no one wants to die  
 
But I’ll do none of that  
I will do the best I can do  
And be the best that I can be  
Until time takes me too

Author's Note
This started out completely different, and what I started with will end up being a different submission. Something pulled me this direction.
For those who read this, please have noticed (deep)underground, as in deepundergroundpoetry. I try. Lord knows I try. :)
