Live For As Long As You Can Live

We are mostly of water by scientists we are told
And few of us live to nine decades old
And fewer still live to a century
Time catches up on everyone eventually
Seventy years on average the human lifetime span
A few years more for a woman supposedly than it is for a man
Of time it would seem that this is not a long span
We physically fail quite fast past our youthful elan
We are born to die why otherwise pretend
No matter what you achieve your life's journey for you must end
Many supposedly indispensable in cemeteries do lay
And without them life does go on today
Live for as long as you can live of years hopefully beyond the four score
Since you will be one of the dead forever more.
