Death
Death is the end-product of life.
It hangs over the head like a knife
Whoever has stepped into this world
Tastes death after a threshold
Everything is programmed prior to birth
Before our arrival on earth
In whatever corner of the globe
Death snatches life ending all our hopes
Whether you are king or pauper
All have to die sooner or later
Death is an equalizer.
Death brings us on the same floor level
A situation no soul can repel
Has anybody been able to escape death?
Who can stop the angel to suppress our breath?
Death comes in several forms
We must respect its norms
It does not consider status or age
Eventually we are trapped in its cage
Some die in natural ways
While others must undergo many essays
Death is a reliever
For those who suffer
Without any second before or after
It comes according to its roster
Life is a betrayer
Whereas death will be with us forever
Will you welcome death with a smile?
So, let's live to the fullest
By showing virtues which are best
