Life Is Only About Living Poem by Francis Duggan

You may be financially wealthy or you may be struggling to survive
But life is only about living yes only about being alive
The dead can't be of assistance to anyone though their legacy they leave behind
In death we still sing the praises of those who in life were good and kind.

So many are poor and downtrodden life can be so very unfair
Yet the poor always help out each other their meagre possessions they share
They only live for the tomorrow their better days may be ahead
You are only of use whilst living why would anyone wish to be dead?

Life as always is about living so do live for as long as you can
The longest Human life in time a brief one an average of three score and a ten year span
But live till the reaper will claim you for none have yet come back to tell
Of the supposed life hereafter The Worlds of Heaven and Hell.

Life is only about living death it is forever more
I meet this old bloke in the Parkland of years he is the four score
He never talks about dying for as long as he can he will live on
'Tis soon enough the reaper will have us and we will be forever gone.
