It will not matter to you when your life's eulogy is read
If your name will live as one of the remembered dead
As one who is outlived by her or his fame
The Reaper of lives treats all lives as the same
Our journey in life to all has to end
And the Reaper of lives to anyone is not a friend
Whatever you achieve in life will not save you from death
The one who claims all lives will eventually rob you of your living breath
In the news we hear of the deaths of famous people every day
We were all born to die life works in this way
People die very old and very young and some die in their physical prime
And eventually we all become victims of time
Death every day claims the lives of famous women and men
And whatever they achieve will not matter to them then.
