Death By ABC’s

 

A is for Amanda, she drank rubbing alcohol,

B is for Brittany, who jumped from the falls.

C is for Charles, he slowly drowned,

D is for David, who’s scream made no sound.

E is for Elly, her rib pierced her lung,

F is for Fabio, who was mobbed and then hung.

 

Soul by soul we drift through life,

Unsuspecting prey, to the reaper’s knife.

Leading us unexpectedly to our end,

Into hell, we shall all descend.

So why not bite the bullet,

When you bite the dust?

Drink poison droplets,

From true human lust.

Sincere beauty, is in fact our own termination,

Eaten alive, by humanities desperation.

 

G is for Gaven, who overdosed on narcotics,

H is for Heather, who went plain psychotic.

I is for Isobel, who had her throat slashed,

J is for Jonathan, who’s head had been smashed.

K is for Kirian, she was stabbed through the heart,

L is for Lauren, her body was torn apart.

 

Soul by soul we drift through life,

Unsuspecting prey, to the reaper’s knife.

Leading us unexpectedly to our end,

Into hell, we shall all descend.

So why not bite the bullet,

When you bite the dust?

Drink poison droplets,

From true human lust.

Sincere beauty, is in fact our own termination,

Eaten alive, by humanities desperation.

 

M is for Miles, who choked on some glass,

N is for Nathan, who was driving too fast.

O is for Opal, who burned like a star,

P is for Percy, he drank to death at the bar.

Q is for Quinnten, had arsenic in his drink,

R is for Ravyn, she vomited blood in the sink.

 

Soul by soul we drift through life,

Unsuspecting prey, to the reaper’s knife.

Leading us unexpectedly to our end,

Into hell, we shall all descend.

So why not bite the bullet,

When you bite the dust?

Drink poison droplets,

From true human lust.

Sincere beauty, is in fact our own termination,

Eaten alive, by humanities desperation.

 

S is for Seraphim, who ended his own life,

T is for Tilly, who swallowed a knife.

U is for Uliana, she got shot in the back,

V is for Vincent, his neck he did crack.

W is for Wynne, who danced with a train,

X is for Xavier, who suffocated in grain.

Y is for Yasmine, she froze in the ice,

Z is for Zach, he was easily enticed.

 

Soul by soul we drift through life,

Unsuspecting prey, to the reaper’s knife.

Leading us unexpectedly to our end,

Into hell, we shall all descend.

So why not bite the bullet,

When you bite the dust?

Drink poison droplets,

From true human lust.

Sincere beauty, is in fact our own termination,

Eaten alive, by humanities desperation.

Second by second we fade away,

Into the nothing on a rainy day.

Minute by minute watch the sun disappear,

When we meet the end, don’t show your fear.

This is deep. I like it. It can be either a song or a poem. Just because things are being repeated or because it's lengthy doesn't mean that it should be declared a song. I would do well as both in my honest opinion. Well done!
