For The Wealthy Like The Poor Poem by Francis Duggan

You may not be admired as the wealthy and famous and great
But like you with the Reaper of lives they too have a date
And like you for them there is a last night and day
We are born to die since life is this way
The longest lived human life as time goes is not a long span
On average a few years more for a woman than it is for a man
The Reaper of lives any life does not spare
The poor one must die so must the billionaire
Money will not save you from the one who wields the scythe of death
The one from the rich and the poor who claims the living breath
It is a fact of life and fact never lie
That the longer you live the sooner you will die
For the wealthy and the poor a last night and day
We are born to die since life is this way.
