'Tis A Fact

'Tis a fact and facts don't lie
That we are mortals born to die
No different to the dog or cat
Or the sheep, goat, cow or rat
Like the brown leaves of the Fall
The life's journey does end for us all
The Earth that sustains us our remains receive
Though Nature for her dead does never grieve
Nature's dreaded Reaper none does spare
He claims the life of the billionaire
The monarch and president who know of wealth and fame
As the pauper's life to him the same
And since we are mere mortals why otherwise pretend
The life's journey for us all does end.
