We All Become Victims Of Time Poem by Francis Duggan

Time that rusts steel and iron does weaken the strong
And the longest lived human life in time is not long
Human life is three score and ten years on average in time not a lengthy span
A few years more for a woman than it is for a man
Since the Reaper of lives does not respect wealth and fame
The wealthiest and poorest do end as the same
Your wealth and possessions behind you must stay
Everybody is equal where dead people lay
Us humans not perfect not one without some flaw
And life it can often be like Murphy's law
That bad things can happen to people who have never done anything bad
To say quite the least this does seem rather sad
The years go by quickly beyond our physical prime
And eventually we all become victims of time.
