    Not many like to go that way.
    "Not so soon!", says too many.
    Nobody can indeed stay
    Forever, its not unknown to any.

    There is no bias to this thing, yes.
    It touches anyone old or young,
    Learned or illiterate,or highness,
    Leaves many baffled and trembling.

    Perhaps it has been cursed a lot.
    At times it had been cruel too.
    But who are we? A meeker lot
    Falling down when our time is due.

    If you ask any who have lived
    Beyond hundred perhaps they may
    Share how much hard it is to give
    Send-offs to dear ones and they pray

    For their time to come sooner too.
    Knowing that all that came must go,
    Might give us that rare solace anew.
    A rare few go, not saying "No!"
