Fate

A screech in the silence,
Treads to a tree,
Wrapped around you are,
A birch and SUV.

Pain for but a second,
A flash in the pan,
Darkness comes swiftly
To the greatest of man.

There is no escape,
As the world goes cold.
Time hath sent vengeance
To a man not yet half old.

Yet time will go on.
(Though not for you.)
The world stops for no man.
I wish that weren't true.
