Death

Death is forever present
It lingers in the air
It holds no prejudice
Because it everywhere

Age if makes no difference
Time & place it always comes
Its accuracy
It always wins

There’s so many hats it can wear
Coming so many different shapes & sizes
There’s such a wide variety
The way one may die

A bomb strapped to a woman
Or wrapped around a child
Are just a couple of ways
Of human suicide

A bullet in the head
Or stepping on a mine
It doesn’t matter
Death is right on time

There’s no need to worry
For when the time comes
Death will be left stand
And that battle won
