Poetic Verses

Date with Fate

This has been happening in fact  in times before you and I
That everything that have life someday must die
Therefore  this we cannot hesitate  nor even procrastinate
Because there  in no  way of avoiding  that  final date with fate.

This we know and it is quite right
No matter what  all living things time is finite
See that tree standing for over a  century
Someday its time will come eventually

Yes thought we all know that this is a given condition
Do not let this deter anyone  form making a worthy contribution
Remember no matter the volume and extent of any accolade
Cannot that date with your  destiny delayed  or protect you from a grave.

In life you may be degrees by some very prestigious institutions
Served you country, family and company with great distinction
You may work hard and long hours to  make sure things go right
But  no matter what  that time will come when you have to say good  night

You may be the most successful in your family tree
In your  expertise you may acquire great wealth that will be a legacy
And on many memories and  times will be always present
The trail left by your  caring and hardworking foot print

Being proactive leaving some continuity for your descendant
Leaving them in a situation where they will find ready employment
Like the mantis who sacrifice himself to nourish his  generation
At the moment of his  instinctive and sole copulation.

We all know the sorrow this date with  one's destiny brings
But this respects no one its hands touches both pauper and kings
How contrasting  we were nurtured in a warm and protective womb
Then in the end we provide nourishment  in a cold and dark tomb.
