I Have Met

I have met and worked with many races in many a town
And in word or deed never put anyone down
And those who treat me as an equal i treat as likewise
Since insult as is said to offense does give rise

I never do call anyone out of name
And all creeds and races i treat as the same
Life is a journey as some like to say
A maze like road where some do lose their way

The great gift of life does come to us by chance
Though some are advantaged by birth circumstance
Death comes to the poorest and the billionaire
The reaper of lives any life does not spare

In a Human World where billions for this thing known as success do compete
Everyday some new challenge in life for to meet
But the wealthy and great like the poorest of all
To the scythe of life's reaper eventually does fall

You only can live to be the best you can be
At least anyhow this is how it seems to me
On how long we live we do not have a say
And for all of us there is a last night and day.
