For All Of Us There Is A Last Night And Day Poem by Francis Duggan

For all of us there is a last night and day
The clock on our lives ever ticking away
From the poor of the World to the known billionaire
The Reaper of Lives any life does not spare
The fact is humans like all other life forms are mortals and fact never lie
No matter what we achieve in life we are destined to die
Though the praises of the wealthy and famous the masses may sing
A successfully lived life can be a relative thing
For not everyone measures success in the same way
That peoples opinions on most things do vary does seem true to say
The now is all that matters and yesterday has gone
And the clock on our lives ever keeps ticking on
It is a fact us humans are mortals and fact does not lie
And the longer you live the sooner you will die.
