Why Otherwise Pretend

Many of us enslaved in our phobias and fears
That does not seem to lessen in the advancement of years
But in death from our cares for us all a release
Which accounts for the saying may he or she rest in peace
With others young children by their parents are programmed to compete
To be best in their neighborhood and best on their street
To be best in their region and best in their town
With their much greater dream of Worldwide renown
To feel reasonably happy in life is all some wish to be
But even this at a premium in the twenty first century
In a World of billions of people for many it is a struggle to survive
Where to be amongst the best many young people strive
But peace for us all at our life's journey's end
This is how it is for us all why otherwise pretend.
