Life and Death

Life & Death

I heard a squelch of death again
I yearned for my life once again

The canvas for her is real vast
But in a moment, she completes her task
To put in a query is a tough ask
None could ever unveil the mask

The date, the time & the venue
Each moment brings a target new
When and where does she strike?
If and only if, the time is ripe

Some consider it the destination
Others find reasons for procrastination
Apartheid and untouchability to her is very rife
Hugging her at the right time is real life.
