Life said, “Let’s kill Mr. Death!”
“I’ll never suicide, dear Mr. Life,
I’m all-powerful, I am too strong,
Hardened by my business” ---
the narrow incandescent eyes glare at Life...
“Ha!” Life smiled aloud,
“You forget, you are naught but my parasite dear,
If need be, I’ll destroy myself to destroy you,
For your methods are most sadistic, cruel,
That make a mockery of my creative genius...”
Death had sprung up,
Utter joy written all over the dark face,
“Characteristic weakness Life, your characteristic weakness,
That you can never overcome,
Self-destruction in the end, what a joke,
To kill me, what a peach of a joke...Ha! Ha! Ha! ...”
