Chapter 3 (Prompt 9)

Here rests Samuel Buckland, our good friend
And this makes us question the divine plan
Of why such a fine man’s life must end
But, you see, Death has no respect for man.

As Surgeon-Major he kept his men alive
Earning commendations in far away Sudan
As a civilian doctor he helped his patients thrive
But what respect has Death for man?

Look past the disease, the pain, the ending, and the shroud
We mortals honour him as best as we can
And in his life well lived we must be proud
For callous Death has no respect for man.
