WE LIVE ONCE <br /> <br />We live once <br />And die once- <br />It is no use pretending <br />We can stretch it to forever- <br />Most of us are dead <br />In what we could do <br />Long before we die. <br /> <br />We live once <br />For many it is already too long- <br />Those who want to live forever <br />Can try- <br /> <br />Considering the pain the difficulty the loss of powers the long Uselessness of extended old age <br />Most of us will die when we die <br />And leave living forever to the delusionists-<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-live-once-and-die-once/
