*Death*

Is death the ultimate consequence of iniquity?
What about those who were the just but already passed away?
It roars with a relentless and self-serving nature, much like a lion.
It is unjust and domineering, always making headlines with tales of devastation.
Age means nothing to it; it claims the young, adults, and the elderly alike.
It finds satisfaction in observing people weeping uncontrollably at funerals.
It shows no compassion, punishing even those classified as poor.
Its companions remain unknown.
It consumes even the most powerful leaders.
It's present in every human-made creation and enters many homes without an invitation.
It may not speak, but it acts frequently.
Its existence has left many people vulnerable and miserable.
