Death Has No Favourites.

Death has no favorites when

he knocks on your door.

Young, old, male, female

Coloured, white, rich or poor.

Times may be good or bad

happy or sad.

In health or disease

Married or single,

if you please. 

Expected or not

accident, suicide or plot.

In bed or out

with a smile or a pout.

Fat or thin

in grace or in sin.

Ugly or beauty

Death does his duty.

The timing is his and

you cannot linger,

When he knocks on your door

with his skeletal finger!

We worry so much when nothing is certain in life, don't we? Everyone wants a happy ending, but that's often not even possible. Some people get married and have children so as not to die alone, some prepare their own endings. Without even being sure of what happens after death. Sometimes babies die, sometimes cruel people live long enough to cause others die. Thank you Marie, it's a topic that will make you think enough to write paragraphs.

Thank you so very much for reading Berenongur nd for your very inspiring and insightful comment. It is so true that nobody is ever alone. Even if it's just us by ourselves, we are with ourselves, so we are not alone. There really is no such thing as death, dear Berenongur. WE do NOT die, only the body we had in this lifetime dies, but our energy does NOT die. Energy can change, but it can never die. Death is a fascinating subject. Wishing you a very beautiful evening from Ireland and from me and from the beautiful evening we have here. Enjoy, dear friend...

Yes indeed it is the one thing that all living have to experience without exception. It is nature's great leveler. I would say it is nature's justice and her greatest sense of mercy. All this written in rhym in quite short lines. Loved it Marie
