Your Moment Of Truth Poem by Francis Duggan

In a Human World where many are lacking in ruth
For each one of us there's our moment of truth
The very moment that you come to realize
That you are a mere mortal this is not a surprise
For years you convinced yourself how marvelous you are
You took pride in your great job and family, your new home and big car
But now it saddens you to realize that you are not so great
That a false image of yourself you did create
Like many you live for me, myself and i
Only now you realize that you too have to die
The moments of your life keep ticking away
Time is in a hurry as some like to say
You like many others are lacking in ruth
But you too are faced with your moment of truth.
