As Some Would Say

Live like a dream,
As some would say.
Today is all;
You will die someday.

You eat and sleep,
As some would say.
Make merry till
All your money can pay.

Oh! This beautiful world
As some would say.
Will last forever and ever.
Let the fun be on display!

Until they see
As some would say.
The imminent face of fate
On the bed they lay.

If death is relentless.
As some would say.
There must be a purpose here,
For us to stay.

Lest, you are one 
As some would say.
Who got it all wrong;
And believed what the heedless say.
