The somber figure that is death, the Reaper of Souls, King of Terrors, the ruthless one Azreal
Its his plan, his scheme, his project Buts its our lives, our end that been laid out, pre-destined, already arranged.
We are in his hand; we are his play things, toys in his game that is our lives.
He controls our end, when we expire, how we perish
Will we become just corpses, bodies, carcasses that rot in the ground?
Or perhaps its just remains that are left, and then it is our souls that are put on trial and judged.
In his courts we will be tried for all our sins, and punished for our outstanding, unpaid debts
AND despite of all this we still dance .
We dance with death, and although he is lurid and shady, we hold his hand and embrace his presence
Not because of our trust in him, but because he has obscured our vision, eclipsed the truth.
We gladly play his game
Thinking we can win, we gamble with our lives, we indulge ourselves with sinful pleasures; we reverse ourselves and devolve ourselves into mere animals.
Already on the road to ruin, we no longer feel guilt, no longer see the peril of living on the edge, oblivious to the bottomless abyss of hell that lays inches from the path that we so foolishly follow, not knowing that straying any further will result in eternal damnation.
Will any remove the blindfold? Break free of the shackles that bind us? Is it even possible? Or are we forever doomed to be pawns in his game? If that is so .

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
