Predator
Can you fathom the thought of death,
When you take your very last breath?
Can you give yourself one more day?
When death comes, just what could you say?
Can you purchase an extended warranty,
On a life once gone, again will never be?
Wealth and toys with other things, of these why do you brag?
Breath and strength minutes or hours, you will lose all your swag!
Death it stalks us all, a lioness after her prey,
Waiting, watching, the moments tick, slowly day by day.
Death takes away life and still has none.
There's nothing you can do, hide or run.
Death travels far and wide taking away all life.
Our only hope is a quiet one, peaceful with out strife.
Young, old, rich or poor, esteemed, ridiculed educated or not...
We all have an appointment with death...
