Destiny Has The Say Poem by Francis Duggan

The clock of time on our lives ticking on fast
And to reach the present we have come from the past
We must die like the sheep or the dog or the cow
And the future ahead and we live in the now
Our judgemental judges we try to impress
As we compete with each other for this thing called success
But to all other life forms we share a similar fate
And like the food we eat on us there is a use by date
You may be chauffeur driven in your expensive car
But you are not as important as you think you are
For you too there will be a last night and day
Of re-generation this is Nature's way
On how long we live destiny has the say
You can make out of this whatever you may.
