The Final, Awful End
But, without exception,
an imprecation to the old, a shibboleth
perception
then filters through:
the final, awful end of death
in view.
To some,
just their next breath
comes.
But, without exception
the final, awful end of death
comes.

This is a minichu:
6/12/3, 4/8/2, 2/4/1, 6/8/1
Aba, cBc, dbD, ABD
I hope I have used these properly:
imprecation - curse
shibboleth - a part of speech that distinguishes one group from another,
in this case, the young from the old, distinguished by whether or not
they consider their mortality
