Of Nature We Are

It is a fact of life and fact never lie We are born of a woman eventually to die Like all other life forms for us there's an end We are only mere mortals why otherwise pretend Like the insect, fish or amphibian the fly, trout or frog Like the humble earth worm the bird or the dog Whether we are buried entire or to ashes we do burn Of Nature we are and to her we will return Like the food that we eat on us a use by date The monarch and the president the masses may celebrate But they too mere mortals that and nothing more Though of the social rank in life they are to the fore We return to Nature when the life from us has gone And she the immortal forever lives on.
