GateKeeper

I ran to the hill fast as I could
to meet with Death, that I would
ask why he plays so cruel
Mother Nature adds her fuel
but nature's only half, at best,
no explanation for the rest.

On the mystery, is what Death thrives,
not knowing till your time arrives,
he likes the jagged missing pieces
and the line in his forehead creases,

says he's the gatekeeper, it's his job
to remain neutral, un-even, un-odd,
to keep everything on-the-level
because he works for God
and moonlights for the devil.
