slowly,gently and silently it makes its grip:

Its grip so timely and targeted :

So tightly and uninformed on its unprepared and innocent victim:

 

It calls unannounced like a thief at night:

It leaves one peculiar trail in a family:

It takes its victim to join its uninformed ancestors in the land beyond:

Oh death , why are you so cruel and inconsiderate!

 

Cry and cry and cry as many tears as you can when it comes:

It seizes one lifeless body :

Throws it into a pit called grave to be forgotten by many:

Termites dance and celebrate as they receive their prey-supposedly guest:

The soil swells and shrinks in excitement:

Coffin makers beams in exitement too as they part with a coffin:

Oh death ,why are you so insatiable!

 

Husbands cry ,wives cry,Children cry,fathers cry,mothers cry,Families cry,nations cry and yet you must take one,two or whatever number as you may desire.

Oh death , how I wish you will travel to another planet  and never,never return...........
