No Different To All Poem by Francis Duggan

No different to all this includes you and i
The celebrities and those of royal birth since they too must die
Death makes us all equal at life's journey's end
Since we are born as mortals why otherwise pretend
The time on our lives ever ticking away
And does bring us nearer to our last night and day
Though many believe good souls post death have wings to fly
To a Heavenly World somewhere beyond the sky
The truth in a life for the soul after bodily death not for me for to say
Since i am not religious or god fearing in any way
Call me an atheist or agnostic or call me what you may
Only know for us all there is a last night and day
I just want to live on for as long as i can
And die without pain as a very old man.
