Death
when it comes
you can t run
you can t hide
there is no escape
nothing can stop it
not your tears or plea
your wealth won t count
beauty or greatness could not work
neither the best doctors
nor greatest power on earth
can spare you from death
at an appointed time without change
as the sun rises and sets
so shall the day of our death will come
better anticipate it
be ready for it, even when you fear it
prayers and good deeds count toady
tomorrow, may be late
