As some people do grow older with hair dye they cloak their gray
And with anti aging creams they smooth away the wrinkles of time's decay
But pride does not keep them living one day longer time on them does tick away
And those who will be humanity's future are the children of today
The young look to the future and they have dreams to pursue
But many of them realize later on in life that all dreams do not come true
And some will even tell you we receive from life what is our due
But fame and success should not make one more equal than me or you
Since the Reaper the great equalizer any life does not spare
He claims the life of the poor and homeless and the billionaire
The monarch and the president the Reaper does treat the same
As those who live in poverty and are strangers to fame
And though the praises of aging heroes by their admirers may be sung
It is a fact the future does belong to the young.
