A Temporary Man

He has all the time in the world
And refuses to accept
That his life can end
Although he believes differently
If you ask him
Death is what happens to others
Not to him
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
Without a doubt
A temporary man
