Mortality

Mortality, A book not read by the astutes-
It's a fool's voice known by multitudes;
A Story not told by our grandfathers
A lullaby not to be sung to toddlers
Life's Mirth no heart has merry,
Struggles continues as powers tarry;
___As none has lived so wise to finish his task
So, the day death is your turn- -you don't ask.
