A Name That Is Feared

A name that is feared by people Worldwide
The one responsible for dreams and ambitions destroyed
In every village and city and town
By the Reaper of lives tall poppies are cut down
Many refer to the Reaper of lives as a he
But for all we do know it may well be a she
The one who goes reaping with the scythe of death
And steals from everybody the precious life's breath
The skeleton with the scythe that so many does fear
Between the wealthy and the poor does not differentiate seems obviously clear
The Reaper of lives to anyone is not a friend
Everyday the one who wields the scythe of death brings lives to an end
The one who is feared by people Worldwide
From the egalitarian life's Reaper there is nowhere to hide.
