The Reaper Of Lives

The Reaper of lives is reaping night and day
On life the one who does have the final say
Between the wealthy and the poor the one who does not differentiate
Yet the one that anyone does not celebrate
The one who claims the lives of the great to the small
The Reaper of lives the greatest egalatarian of all
The one who renders the president and monarch and wealthy celebrity
to the status of the insect that does crawl
To the scythe of death the greatest does fall
To anyone the one who is never a friend
Is the one who does bring every life to an end
Many refer to the Reaper of lives as a he
But others will tell you it may be a she
The one who claims all lives eventually
Will come reaping my way to claim the life from me.
