At Anytime Poem by Francis Duggan

That death can come to anyone at anytime is not a lie
And it is a fallacy that anyone is too young for to die
The Reaper of lives claims the lives of the old and the young
As well as the wealthy celebrities and the poor and unsung
The one who claims all lives none does celebrate
With Nature's gleaner of lives we allhave a date
It is a date each one of us is obliged to keep
With the one who causes women to wail and macho men to weep
The same for the billionaire as well as you and me
We are born into life to die eventually
Far younger than you are in cemeteries lay
And feel glad you did wake for to greet the new day
Death claims the lives of boy and girl and woman and man
So live for as long as you possibly can.
