These Days Are Among My Worst

These days among my worst
But endure them I must
For I have a job to do
I go to work, putting aside my disgust

Like most, I have my craft
This unique act is all my own
For no others do what I do
Though I never work alone

Each day, a new list of tasks
To complete one by one
Like you, I spend each day
Working until they’re done

In places all over the world
I have meetings, as most do
While you may work in groups
Each of my dates is set, a reservation for just two

For I am the Darkness
That brings your final light
I am the agent who visits you
The day of your permanent night

My work may seem unjust
Days filled with grief and fear
But my work must be done
And peace follows wherever I appear
