That We All Share One Thing In Common

That we all share one thing in common is not a lie
And this is we are born for to eventually die
There is a last night and day for us all
Like every other life form from the great to the small
On all lives the dreaded Grim Reaper has the final say
From death there is nowhere for to hide away
The Reaper can claim your life at any time
He takes the very young and the old and those in their life's prime
Yet despite the realization that life's journey does end in most people there is the need
In the eyes of others to be seen to succeed
And you can call it a lust for life or call it what you may
But for this thing known as success people compete every day
Whilst an appointment with Life's Reaper is a thing in common everybody does share
Including the monarch, the pauper and the billionaire.
