Based On A Lie

Immortality for human kind based on a lie For us no such a thing we are born to die Our average life span in years a decade with three score Only Nature herself does live forever more You may even become a moneyed billionaire But the Reaper of lives the life's breath in you will not spare From the moment we are born to our last living day The clock on our lives does keep ticking away Between those we see as failures and those we see as great The Reaper of lives does not differentiate You may not like the Reaper but would you not agree That the life of the pauper and billionaire he treats equally. I have lived sixty five Summers more than three decades past my prime And i feel that i am running out of time And since for all living things there's a last night and day The end for me cannot be too far away.
