Everyone Dies Poem by Paul Butters
Everyone Dies
Life clings on
In deserts, ice sheets and hot acid pools.
Those selfish genes persist:
Batons in a Marathon relay race.
Generation follows generation.
Clone adds to clone.
So life spreads:
The mightiest empire,
Covering all the globe.
A world full of living wonders.
All manner of plants, insects and animals.
Oceans teeming with fish.
From tropical paradise
To awesome glaciers.
We must be mindful
Of this glorious beauty.
Mother Nature reigns supreme.
Sing and rejoice,
Party hard
And put aside
The awful truth -
That in the end
Everyone dies.

Birth is truth and death is also truth. Life clings on. Death comes suddenly. Covering all the globe a world full of living wonders attracts towards beauty. With mindful attention we shall be glorious towards such beauty. We always try to survive. An amazing poem is brilliantly penned that has deep insight...10
Sincere thanks for that. Yes we are born condemned to die. We have our innings. It has to end, one way or another. So we must make the most of it I feel.
