On Most Subject Matters

On most subject matters we do disagree But your life is as important to you as my life is to me On that one matter there's little doubt you and I Without reservation do see eye to eye And though the facts tell us so and facts never lie That we are mere mortals and born to die And a century not much more a very long human life span So one ought to live on for as long as one can Conservative in your ways and thinking as opposed to me But suppose we all look at life in ways differently On few things you and I eye to eye does see If we all thought in the same way how boring we would be But even in opposites some sameness is to be found We both do fear death that is our common ground.
