Despite advanced medical technology people still age and die <br />And though people on an average live longer now one fact we can't deny <br />Is that the Reaper who claims every life will one day claim your's and mine <br />Each day we live we draw closer to our lives finish line. <br /> <br />If wealthy people could live forever more how awful that would be <br />'Twould seem that Nature would be punishing all of those in poverty <br />But Nature can't be bribed or bought she is beyond reproach <br />She does not differentiate between the life of a Human Being or the water dwelling Roach. <br /> <br />Yes nature is beyond reproach she treats as equal all <br />From the World's most influential Human Being to the wood louse in garden wall <br />And the Reaper the son of Nature for all of us he wait <br />He claims the life of each living thing and he does not differentiate <br /> <br />Between the life of a Human Being and a Cockroach whom he does treat the same <br />He will not spare you just because you have great wealth and fame <br />And like his Mother Nature he is beyond reproach <br />He will claim the life of the great Monarch and the water dwelling Roach.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/like-his-mother-nature/
