Oh! The great death, the grand gift of life <br />Knows not the young or old, rich or poor <br />Visits all, acts as double edged knife <br />Can take the body, soul never! <br /> <br />None desires death, but that death spares none <br />For the good or bad, read or unread <br />Death brings pain and grief, sure gives not fun <br />None on earth wants death, that comes unsaid! <br /> <br />Man with wealth ever in fear of death <br />Men sans wealth with love for kith and kin <br />All in constant fear and worry <br />Over death none has control any! <br /> <br />Truth of life is certainty of death <br />Do thy duty, face death bold on earth!<br /><br />Subbaraman N V<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/truth-of-life-2/
