This is the second of my two poems for February, in keeping with my goal of at least 2 new works every month of 2009.

"In the End"

Nothing in the life is certain
Though we all shall someday pass
Beyond the veil of Death's dark curtain
Caught within her grasp at last

And in that dark and dreary dwelling
We shall come to realize
Of worldly class no sign is telling
All are equal in her eyes

So cling not to your wealth and power
Don't talk down or condescend
For soon may be your final hour
And all are equal in the end
