Is This What Life Is

Is this what life's about we were born to create
Extensions of our egos with our sexual mate
So when the breath of life from us forever has gone
Our genes in our children destined to live on.

Is this life hereafter another big lie
And are we only mortals destined for to die
Only fools believe everything they do hear
'Tis not death but the fear of it we do fear.

Is this what life is in our quest for renown
We trample on others and keep others down
Where financial greed is compassion is rare
And many grow poorer for every new millionaire.

Is this what life is we work grow old and gray
And the clock on our lives it keeps ticking away
And time treats us as equals on none of us wait
And on each one of us there is a use by date.
