Everything On Earth Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

Everything On Earth



Everything on earth and in the sea dies.
But man is more severely condemned:
He knows about this death sentence,
It was signed when he was born.

But, aware of the transience of life,
He lives obliviously - contrary to everything -
As if his life is forever
And this world belongs to him.
