Rhyme time
Of life and death

The biggest truth of our life which is perhaps

The destination where all of us go without any map

The only thing for which all of us come to this world

Nobody knows when we are lost from the human herd

The time when we have to go from the world alone

The thing that can neither be cancelled nor postponed

Oh great death, your great writ runs everywhere

From your clutches, nobody can ever be spared

Whoever has arrived in the world, has to go one day

Whenever death summons, we all have to obey

To stand before you, nobody has the power or dare

You can reach everywhere, whether earth, sky or air

But whenever you arrive untimely for someone

Then shock sets in but tears refuse to come

No doubt, death, that you are inevitable

But I request you to please frame a time table

Come at time and never spoil someone’s fun

So that a father has to never give shoulder to his son
