It Is The Fear Of Death

It is the fear of death i only fear
And every day i live to me it is one day more near
I only fear what is  the unknown to me
Due to the ego born of my mortality
It is only Nature lives forever more
Few people in years live beyond four score
Though the fear of death it is a natural thing
It's praises you will not hear many sing
As long as the breath of life in us it does remain
Our will to live transcends physical pain
And since death does leave us lifeless as a stone
I do fear death and in that i am no alone
Since death for us it is forever more
And few do survive beyond the four score.
