Ah yes, ol' Thanatos rearing his ugly head again.

He/it comes to us all, nothing new.
When he/it gets busy, though,
processes many in short order,
it kinda brings the species together,

A chance for cooperation, at least.

Trouble is, without body language,
I can't tell whether this is sincere
or you're just trying to shut me up
(I've had a lot more time to type lately,
so my replies have grown long).
