The clutches of death
Death , the end for the rich and poor
The sad and bitter truth
So true yet cruel
People tremble when they see you
People call you their waterloo
You don’t care about the young and old
Those with silver or gold
You don’t discriminate
Death, a cold dish served on a plated plate
No one can escape from the clutches of death
It’s is better to accept this bitter truth.
