I Have Met

I have met and worked with many races in many a town And in word or deed never put anyone down And those who treat me as an equal i treat as likewise Since insult as is said to offense does give rise I never do call anyone out of name And all creeds and races i treat as the same Life is a journey as some like to say A maze like road where some do lose their way The great gift of life does come to us by chance Though some are advantaged by birth circumstance Death comes to the poorest and the billionaire The reaper of lives any life does not spare In a Human World where billions for this thing known as success do compete Everyday some new challenge in life for to meet But the wealthy and great like the poorest of all To the scythe of life's reaper eventually does fall You only can live to be the best you can be At least anyhow this is how it seems to me On how long we live we do not have a say And for all of us there is a last night and day.
