Why is the reaper grim?

Is it from a life lived lonely

Or from choosing, her or him

Death belongs to the reaper only

Good versus Evil

Young and old

All of the people

Will one day fold

Darkness surrounds

The people are in fear

Down into the ground

Their day draws near

Is it at random

Or maybe by reason

We all enter the kingdom

In his own season

Sometimes it’s fast

Others it’s slowly

But we all breathe our last

Death belongs to the reaper only
