Life or Death


Two things certain are taxes and death,
Life's unsure till taking your last breath;
That's what so many may want to think,
With 70 or 80 years just gone in a wink;
Your life maybe cut short by an act of war,
Or weed killer amiss for gin that you pour;
If you get mugged could make you a stiff,
Or loosing your balance on top of a cliff;
Maybe it could be sooner just by accident,
Or longer on the medical care was spent;
Maybe you found the fountain of youth,
Or a secret formula found by a super sleuth;
Possibly you might live longer as a vampire,
Or found a cryogenics scientist was to hire;
Maybe your life was extended by transplant,
Or a witch doctor did a spell-binding chant;
But consider eternity rather than extended,
When your life on this earth as been ended;
Pray to repent to God and in Christ believe,
And you'll have everlasting life to receive.
