Why the rush?

I'm certain of it
I'm sure, it's so obvious
Death has recruited apprentices
Business is booming
Waiting lists are full
Everyone around me
Has received a notice
Pacemaker, skin cancer,
Lung cancer, Diabetes,
Accident, Alzheimers, old age 
And the list is endless
Why the sudden rush?
Has Death doubts
About the next few months?
Does she know something we don't?
Wants to clear the deck, so to say
For a new influx?
Overtime, that's what she does
Or so it looks to me
Calm down, will you, 
You have Eternity 
After all working for you!
