The Great Equalizer
Death is the great equalizer,
it comes for poor and rich alike.
We are allotted a finite
period of time to exist.
Regardless of social standing,
death is the great equalizer.
There is no escaping that fact,
no matter what your status is.
At life's end, without exception,
no one procures an extension.
Death is the great equalizer,
all flesh and bone revert to dust.
Whether king or slave, we all die
when it's time for our life to end.
Despite wealth, power, or prestige,
death is the great equalizer.
