Death has been shamed
It took a loved one and sought our harmed selves
But here we are
II
Death has been destroyed
It cracked our hearts
And sought sad faces forever
But here we are
III
Eating and merry-making
Humming and dancing
Eating and loving
Chatting and socializing
Here we are
IV
No sad face to let you boast
No sounds of tears to make you gloat
No sickness to make you smile
Here we are
Like the tricked turned tricksters
Death, you have lost
Big time

Reminds me of the sentiment in John Donne’s poem, Death, one of my favourite poems. You caught the same essence.

He is a great poet. Not intentional but glad it does.
