Magnum Mortem


Unavoidable, named the great equalizer.

No matter who, when, what and how one comes to the world,

No one can win against this foe.

or is it a friend?

 

Many reasons for it to take one’s gift of life.

Many ways it can happen.

It is black peace.

Both body and heart.

 

Some are remembered.

Names in gold.

Some are forgotten.

Names fade in dust.

 

Run from it, it will appear in front of us.

ask for it, it runs away from you.

Fight it, pains you so much.

That mischievous, painstakingly naughty O’ Death.

 

Great Death will come, just set your farewells. It only should be wished and liked.
