*Death*
Approaches sure and silent
Taking hold of the soul
for some its peace and for many violent
And it is ghastly
The body loses its vigor
its effect being immediate
being a sudden trigger
to the relinquishment of vitality
Men are born to die
Immortality is an unattained virtue
Life is a transitory period, sigh
the benefits of which we must pursue
Itβs a strange thing, demise
a sort of an unwelcome guest
appearing as an unpleasant surprise
not understood by even the wise
People who live life in glory & fame
sometimes face its vengeance
which comes sudden & unexpected
while the half-dead continue their existence
Causing grief & pain
it picks out victims at random
all efforts at its prevention go in vain
it kills as it pleases
Death liberates
yet is undesirable
because it separates
from the world
It is felt but not seen
till those few moments
when mortal breathes his last breath
glimpsing at the pale face of death
