In A Human World

In a Human World where people do compete for wealth and for fame
For everyone sometime it comes to the same
For the famous and non famous there is a last night and day
Death is the great equalizer it has always been this way
'Death The Leveler' in the words of John Shirley the poet
A seventeenth century wordsmith of note
The relativity to the reality in these words remain
No matter in your lifetime what is your gain
That death makes everyone equal in truth can be said
The deceased billionaire only equal to the deceased pauper dead
This is how it is and how it always will be
Doubtless death is the monarch of reality
In a Human World where many compete for wealth and fame
For everyone sometime it comes to the same.
