Death

How much gluttonous you are?
Can you ever be satisfied?
Your selfishness makes me hate you
Your egocentrism a bad omen

The innocent and guilt
You don't ever spare any
The children, youth and old
Both male and female
Your target

You always trap all
Through road accidents, murders
Floods and even illnesses

You swallow millions and millions
And leave us with pain
Wailing and mourning
Remain our duty

We are going to conquer you
And to shame be your portion
God is never going to tolerate you
Yet you're here causing us pain
And we'll mock you
'death! Death where is your strength'
