Death Destroys

Death dares daily

Driving dreams down

Discounting dedications, devotions

Death drops details

Denying dramatic deeds

Defeating dignified defenses

Death drinks deeply

Devouring delectable damage

Displaying desolation, decimation

Death dances deftly

Discovering dormant deceptions

Demanding deliberate departures

Death determines destinations

Devising devious disasters

Delighting devastation, desperation

Death decays daydreams

Derailing dynamic desires

Deactivating divine destinies

Death destroys…
