Draping Curtains Of Death Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Darkness falling upon earth, draping curtains of death
across the horizon as people's loved ones are chosen
and taken away.

Not caring who it is, just filling a quota, there's no
denying, tears being wrenched from our eyes and hearts,
feelings of hopelessness, emptiness, loneliness enter.

Falling deeply into another world without even holding
onto the love we've had through life, we were born, lov-
ed, lived died.

First love of our lives, taken from our mothers that we
may be free to leave this temporary life for heaven with
no strings attached, no regrets to mar our way into the
intense peace of eternity.
