For Many Their Journey In Life Poem by Francis Duggan

For many their journey in life can depend on birth circumstance
And our gift of life in itself is only by chance
And like all other life forms we are born to die
The same for the earth worm as you and i
You may grow financially quite wealthy and know of success
And the impressionable of the town you may well impress
But all of this for you comes to nothing at your life's journey's end
Since your money will not save you from life's Reaper why otherwise pretend
The best people are those who are compassionate and kind
And when you are in need of helping a friend in them you will find
The World's wealthiest people post death life goes on without
And though the deceased pauper does not leave any money for his or her relatives to quarrel about
He or she to the deceased billionaire equal in every way
That death does make us all equal does seem fair to say.
