The Enemy We All Face

On a scroll all names are written

One by one they are mentioned

Who knows who\'s next on the list

My day draws near every second a clock  ticks

A place of silence and darkness awaits me

 

All flesh face same blade

It puts a sunder even renown mighty men of valor

Both beautiful and handsome alike

It knows no age nor status quo

It has no notification nor a messenger

 

Its ways are unknown and peevish

If it will be through a freaky accident I can\'t tell

Who knows if it will be through a deadly disease?

May be an old age when my strength fails

Its jaws are ever open with unceasing appetite

 

This enemy we all face in our world

It had sapped and drained unseen visions

Its belly is rich with undiscovered potentials

Strength and pillars of nations drowns in its dirt

When will you be satisfied oh enemy?

 

Great king and queen fears this enemy

It robs palace peace and authority

It\'s bounds  to destroy both great and small

Our beloved ones sleep and sighs no more

Who\'s next on the list?
