Of How Long Anyone Will Live Poem by Francis Duggan

Of how long anyone will live there is no guarantee
So you can only live to be the best you can be
And it is a fact of life and fact never lie
That the longer you will live the sooner you will die
Some people are lacking in their humanity
And for the feelings of others feel no empathy
They cannot love self so they cannot love anyone
It is only those lacking in empathy harm to others are known to have done
Do unto others as you would like them do unto you
One of the all time truisms that does remain ever true
On helping others by going out of their way
Good people plant the good seeds of good Karma every day
Of how long anyone will live there is no guarantee
And this applies to everyone as well as me.
