They All Passed Away. Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

My granddad passed away,
My grandmother passed away,
My dad passed away,
My mother passed away,
My uncle passed away,
My aunt passed away,
Some of my friends passed away,
Some of my next-door neighbors passed away,
Many people passed away, and
Death never stops
As long as it is inevitable,
We are still alive,
Thank God, but
One day we will pass away
Willingly or
Unwillingly
Simply because that's the way
With our whole life.
