Mortality
Who shall explain
devastating tragedy
imprisoned in death
never to be free
Demons do creep
there is no misgiving
venomous strikes
attacking the living
Spectres of regret
carve images in the mind
casting ominous shadows
calamity assigned
Heart wrenching fate
brutal and unfair
it comes for us all
innocents beware

Author's Note
A dear friend who survived alcoholism and cancer died tragically in a car accident. I don't understand the unfairness. Such a loss.

You are not the only one who does not understand the silliness, the stupidity and the cruelty of life. Regards, Robert.

My condolences it is so terrible and senseless, sometimes it seems like our capacity for suffering and tragedy is so encompassing and everything is chaos. When my best friend died of liver cirrhosis, I marveled that everything just goes on without him.
