For Everyone Poem by Francis Duggan

For everyone a last Winter, Spring, Summer and a last Fall
And a last night and day is ahead of us all
No matter what you achieve in life for you it will be the same
As the one who dies without a penny to his or her name
The pauper the celebrity and the billionaire
The Reaper of lives any life does not spare
For everyone there is a final New Year
And the farewell bell for us we never do hear
The days go by quickly beyond youthful elan
And the longest lived human life in time not a long span
The living with each other compete for success
But the Reaper of lives is one they fail to impress
That life's Reaper promotes equality in death one can say
And for all of us there is a last night and day.
