The last visitor

The unwanted visitor shall come
At anytime, he may visit
The voracious visitor shall show up,
And from the household generosity shall benefit
He is not as kind as other visitors may be,
For he eats all that he can meet
Boundless his voracity seems
Fearful his darkness is.

Life is his forest, and he is the hunter
With his cruel hands, he suffocates the souls
With his subtle ways, he starts the blaze
With neither nets nor hooks, he fishes
With neither fights nor weapons, he kills
With neither arrows nor rifles, he hunts
With no appointments, all creatures shall
Have the honour to receive this inevitable visitor
