It Will Not Poem by Francis Duggan

It will not matter to you anyway
When you have lived your final night and day
Your successes and failures only true to say
To you will not matter when under the ground you do lay
The longest lived human life in time not a long span
On averag a few years more for a woman than it is for a man
Life's Reaper who does not make an appointment can call on you at anytime
The one who claims the lives of the young and old and of those in their lives prime
Does not matter how wealthy and famous you are
Or of the size of your home or of the size of your car
To the Reaper of lives these things to nothing does amount
The one who wealth and fame never takes into account
It will not matter to you when your life's journey end
If you were the town's most popular or you never had a friend
