Everything is all right in the end. If it's not alright, then it isn't the end.

Death came swiftly now,
It's my new routine.
An old man today,
A baby up next.
I play by no rules.
I have no limits.
Just a flash of steel
And the great do fall.
You cannot stop me,
So just turn and flee.

The author's comments:
I'm generally good with a darker writing style, so I figured rather than jsut write about Death, I would put myself in his shoes and write from Death's point of view.
