Funmbi Aransiola - What death owns

Death is a debt!
Everyone owes him
I thought to myself
'With all these gold and silver that I have,
I can't believe the only person to trust
will knock on my door someday.'
To take it all away
To request for what it's truly his
My life
When it knocks on my door
Will I have a place to run to?
It's going to knock one day
But I am determined not to fear.
