The Babies Born Yesterday A Day Older Today Poem by Francis Duggan

The babies born yesterday a day older today
And the biological clocks on their lives already ticking away
Every day one does live one day nearer to the last
Tomorrow is coming and yesterday in the past
Ageing people for to hide the signs of Seasonal decay
Use anti ageing creams to smooth wrinkles and hair dyes to cover their gray
Time does not wait for anyone as the wise one does say
Youth with everyone seems to have a brief stay
And since we are born as mortals why otherwise pretend
The life journey for everyone does come to an end
The Reaper of lives treats all lives as the same
The billionaire and the one without a penny to his or her name
There is no class distinction where dead people lay
All of those who will never more see light of day.
