This Is How It Is And It Has Always Been This Way

For any woman or for any man A century of years is quite a long life span It is way above the human life average of three score and ten And women by a few years known to outlive men Yet some human beings are not granted much time Some die in their childhood and some die in their prime The years go by quickly and time ticks on fast And all we have left are memories of the past Of a life after death of a heaven or hell There is no concrete proof as anyone has not come back to tell Though some firmly believe the soul has wings to fly To the world of their god far beyond the clouds of the sky I only know that millions of people are born and die every day This is how it is and it has always been this way.
