Us Humans Are Mortals And Little Else More Poem by Francis Duggan

Us humans are mortals and little else more
And few can expect for to live to the age of years of four score
The longest lived human life in time not a long span
On average a few years more for a woman than it is for a man
To my own thoughts i can only be true
When i say of a life after death i would not have a clue
Any deceased person i have known have not come back to me for to tell
Of these places known as heaven or limbo or hell
I may not be one who has the inner glow
But this life i do live the only life of i do know
And i want to live on for as long as i can
And die without pain as a very old man.
