View of Death

How vast the view of Death!
Sure, it’s a certainty,
That's why many fear it, 
From children to adults, 
Are you first to admit?

How vast the view of Death!
Some long for the Reaper,
To save them from their pain, 
They think Death will cure them, 
But it would be in vain. 

How vast the view of Death!
Some think they can escape,
How cautious they will be, 
But from his icy grip,
Never could you be free. 

How vast the view of Death!
From the Old Man and Eye,
To the two lovers star,
Perhaps Prince Prospero,
Trust me, you won't get far.
