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.

About this poem

This poem is talking about the reality of death and the end of every one ,no matter who you are,no matter how many riches you have or how many gold you have ,death doesn’t care and it doesn’t discriminate and this is truth ,everything on earth is vanity
