Our Reality

There is fact in the saying and fact never lie
That the longer you live the sooner you will die
Since death for everyone is an inevitable thing
Though most people to their very last breath of air to life does cling
Yet for all of us there is a last night and day
And for most fear of death is fear of the unknown does seem true to say
Since any deceased person has not been known to come back to tell
Of an afterlife existence for the soul of a heaven or a hell
We are born as mortals why otherwise pretend
And life's journey for everyone comes to an end
The Reaper of lives does not differentiate
Between the lives of the ordinary and of the great
And since us humans are born to mortality
That our life's journey has an end is our reality.
