Death Gives You No Choice Poem by Marijo Pinero

Death gives you no choice

You cling to life
as you watch the candle
burning to its end.

It's time to say goodbye
Whether you like it or not
You have no choice.

Whilst there's time to make peace
Get a hold of your dear ones
to spend more times together.

Death comes to you any time
it wants to take you,
As you become fallible.

While life is still in you,
Make sure you are all prepared
to face the Lord Almighty.

Death gives you no choice,
This is His choice
that you have to go.
