The Longest Lived Human Life Poem by Francis Duggan

The longest lived human life in time not a long span
On average three score and ten years a few more years for a woman than it is for a man
There is fact in the saying and fact does not lie
That the longer you live the sooner you will die
Money cannot buy the life's reaper as the wise one does say
And for all of us there is this last night and day
Death does make as equal the pauper and billionaire
A common fate eventually everyone does share
Whatever you achieve in life money or fame
As the poor of the World you will end as the same
The clock on our lives ever ticks on and on
At the stroke of midnight today will be gone
We only can live to be the best we can be
And this includes everyone as well as you and me.
