A crule truth (Limerick) by Kraven_The_Wanderer
Through the mist and past the gate
lays the place of everyone's fate,
Burried under the earth so cold
marked by stones standing bold,
The wind speaks in whispers here
it scolds those who laugh and snear,
For in the end we all will fall
our fame our vanity we'll lose it all,
We will all end the same way
it will not matter what we say,
Time will leave our bodies crushed
as our bones slowly turn to dust,
All we own and hold so dear
the don't matter once we leave here,
We all come ere when our time is done
there is no place safe enough to run,
There is no way to escape Death
we grow closer to it with every breath,
When our alotted time is all but gone
and our life has played out its song,
May we all be both joyous and weary
that all our stories end in a somber cemetary
