Our Reality

There is fact in the saying and fact never lie That the longer you live the sooner you will die Since death for everyone is an inevitable thing Though most people to their very last breath of air to life does cling Yet for all of us there is a last night and day And for most fear of death is fear of the unknown does seem true to say Since any deceased person has not been known to come back to tell Of an afterlife existence for the soul of a heaven or a hell We are born as mortals why otherwise pretend And life's journey for everyone comes to an end The Reaper of lives does not differentiate Between the lives of the ordinary and of the great And since us humans are born to mortality That our life's journey has an end is our reality.
