You are an angel of death
to everything you eat,
to every insult you swallow
and it lives no more,
to every bit of meanness
you receive and destroy,
an angel of death
to loneliness and despair,
you, the living end
of unloveliness,
an angel of death
to the Emperor of Cynicism.
In your very being
you are an end to them.
You consume them,
turning them into life.
You remove them from this world,
you usher them into the new Being.
What more could the angel of death
do for you?
