Death


They say your name is death

“He who is feared by all”

You come like a thief in the night

And suck all the essence of our lives

 

They say there is nothing more certain than death,

And nothing more uncertain than the time of dying

You stand there waiting for the right timing

But we never see you coming

 

They say you are the master of disaster

Leaving pain and suffering in the after

You care not of the people left behind

When they are the one who endure with all their might
