You Who Believe

You who believe you are better than others will come to realize that this is not so
Though you are young now time that rusts iron as it is to all others will become your foe
Time that eventually makes everyone equal on how long you will live will have the final say
There is no difference between lifeless bodies everyone is equal where dead people lay
What use now to the deceased celebrities though buildings and streets in their honor have their name
Their deceased bones than the bones of a deceased pauper no better only the living reap the rewards of money and fame
They were celebrated but time than them far greater time that renders the fittest and strongest as weak
With every tick of the clock we do grow older you and i even do age as we speak
Eternal youth is a myth little else more though of youth and beauty songs are written and sung
Everything of life in time is aging any life form does not remain young
Sooner or later death it will claim us the longer you live the sooner you will die
Only the most deluded believe they will live forever immortal life for the body is based on a lie
You who believe you are better than others when death approaches will come to realize
That you were so misguided in your thinking and this in itself is not any surprise.
