Death has no specials, It has no favourites, You nor I It comes when you least Expects it Oh, Death! He is a canal being Who never hears of man's life When tricked by more thoughts Of death Oh, Death! Of course, no one can claim to Love death Neither does death have specials He comes through a secret door Oh, Death! Death does not take excuses, A wealthy man considers death As a calamity, He sees death as something painful And unfavourable Oh, Death! Death has no specials, Young or old he takes, Rich or poor, black, white or gold Without discrimination Oh, Death! Death does not stigmatize, He does not take bribes, Never a corrupt being If death where to take bribe The poor man would have finished, Thank God for death, Oh, Death! « return. |
