Like all other creatures the great and the small
For us humans a last day and night for us all
Death the great egalitarian does not differentiate
Between the billionaire and the pauper and the unknown and the great
This tag of immortal is surely a lie
For us humans are born as mortals and mortals do die
Three score and ten years is the average human life span
On average a few years more for a woman than it is for a man
Death the great equalizer treats all as the same
And is one who does not respect people of money or fame
For the monarch and president a last night and day
Death on the time span of their existence has the final say
With all other life forms we share a similar fate
Since like the food we do eat on us a use by date.
