a family

“A Family”

Life, she is his mistress, he does all that she asks
He goes through all the trouble to do whatever task
Life, she is his mistress, and in his loyalty she basks
Life, to all, seems good, but can you see behind the mask

Death, he is her slave, and she tells him what to do
for whose existence shall we conquer, only she, herself knows
Death, he is her slave, her servant ever true
Death, to all, seems evil and got blamed as the cold wind blows

Woe, she is their offspring, she goes by many a name
Anguish, Misery, Sorrow and Grief, she is known by all of men
Woe, she is their offspring, but her father gets all the blame
Woe, she is felt by all, but only her mother knows when

Grudge, he is Life's son, a master of devastation
whose action are felt and seen by all creation
Grudge, he is hostility, he brings forth annihilation
Grudge, he seems so evil, but blame him not for Life's subversion

this is the family of Life and their work and how she fucks all
nobody dies a virgin, no matter how strong, you will fall
just embrace Life and all her consequences no matter how big or small
no one can beat this, they've been working for ages, just take the pain and stand tall.
