Poem - The Winner and Still Champion

I’m not afraid to die
I’m not afraid to die
I’m not afraid to die

That’s not true
Nobody wants to die
But death is what every one of us has in common
Death is coming and unlike
Life
Death plays no favorites

The end is known at the beginning
But very few people posses the courage
To give the end much thought
We think we will live forever
Outwit
Dementia
Cancer
Shingles
Toe fungus
Kidney stones
Arthritis
Impotence
Depression
Osteoporosis
Outwit every calamity and spend eternity
In heaven
With our loved ones
Old friends
Pets
Happily ever after
Forever and ever
Amen

Death laughs at our conceit
And bides its time
We are stone and death is water
And we know who wins that fight
Don’t we?
