Some die of natural causes some in a tragic way <br />But for every single one of us a final night and day <br />Without respect for the power of wealth and without respect for fame <br />Death the great equalizer treats everyone as the same <br />Without respect for anyone or creatures great or small <br />The billionaires of the World to the Reaper's scythe do fall <br />At least the one who does claim every life promotes equality <br />Amongst the wealthy of the World and those in poverty <br />Some live on to a ripe old age and some die in their prime <br />And some even die as children they are not granted much time <br />Not ageist or discriminatory in any way <br />He claims the lives of the very young and those who are old and gray <br />He's a true egalatarian of him one can only say <br />And for each and everyone of us a final night and day.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/death-the-great-equalizer/
