Not Yet Lived

Death rode far across the desert, To find a boy who was deadly sick. “Why me?” said the boy, “I have not yet lived.” “Your time has come, let’s go.” Death rode far across the desert, To find a man who had no home. “Why me?” said the man, “I have not yet lived.” “Your time has come, let’s go.” Death rode far across the desert, To find a man with a house made of gold. “Why me?” said the man, “I have not yet lived.” “Your time has come, let’s go.”

This to me could have also been submitted as a short story. An excellent tale, as it is exactly and I mean EXACTLY what death does.
