A Temporary Man

His life is finite Although he believes differently If you ask him Death is what happens to others Not to him He has all the time in the world And refuses to accept That his life can end He is a fool In the guise of a prophet Telling you all the things That you don’t want to hear In his mind He is never wrong In his mind He can answer All the worlds questions Correctly! In his mind He is forever But truth be told He is A temporary man
