On Most Subject Matters

On most subject matters we do disagree
But your life is as important to you as my life is to me
On that one matter there's little doubt you and I
Without reservation do see eye to eye
And though the facts tell us so and facts never lie
That we are mere mortals and born to die
And a century not much more a very long human life span
So one ought to live on for as long as one can
Conservative in your ways and thinking as opposed to me
But suppose we all look at life in ways differently
On few things you and I eye to eye does see
If we all thought in the same way how boring we would be
But even in opposites some sameness is to be found
We both do fear death that is our common ground.
