Dust Unto Dust

There's simply No magic in life! Yeah, there's no magic password "Open Sesame" Nor an Aladdin's magic lamp, There's no Midas touch Nor any Philosopher's Stone, There's no crystal ball No magic wand No flying carpet Nor a magic mirror; There's no magic mantra Nor an Aesculapius' Staff, No Atlantis, No Holy Grail, No Elixir or Ambrosia, And, no Heaven or Hell; There will neither be A Kingdom of Heaven on earth, Nor an afterlife Paradise! Beseech not the hand of Lady Luck Nor pin your hopes on that pot of gold, Do not embark on a voyage seeking the Treasure Island, Nor venture out to find the fabulous Eldorado. In the sweat of his face Man will eat his bread until into the ground forever he is laid, For he is born of dust And unto dust he'll return!
