Death is a Taboo Word in All the Realms

when you meet a spirit
please do not mention the word death
it is a taboo, a sad reminder of god's curse
a tribulant time in the heavens

when you meet a poor ghost
also do not mention
the word death
he was once made to think
he would live forever

and now as a ghost
he does not want to be
disenchanted again with
such unfulfilled dreams

tears has all been shedded
and he just wants to wander
in his realm waiting for God's
answer to his plight

when you meet Christ
do not talk to him about death
for it is taboo too
he had come, died
to make sure we all live again
death to him is no more

when you meet the devil himself do not talk
about death either

he knows he is bound
to everlasting fire
and death would remain forever a dream

Please tell me what you think
