What Are We Only Mortal Beings

I am confused in my thinking of that why should I lie What are we only mortal beings born into life to die Many of us give life to children so our genes will live on When we have gone forever to the forever gone There are so many people in the bigger World out there Who are Homeless and Stateless and not wanted anywhere In a Human World of too many people too much poverty And only in the minds of the credulous there is equality From fear of torture and famine so many do flee No place in the World for a poor refugee Millions of a fair go in life by circumstance of birth denied And the gap between the haves and the have nots has grown ever wide And I can only wonder what life is all about And my worth as a person I often do doubt.
