Immortality

Why does a man have to die Earth goes on for billions of years in the sky How long is a man's life suppose to be That it can honestly guaranty Why can't man live 500 years spry Or a thousand. Why does he have to die Almost the moment he's born In such a short span of years for·lorn What is it in the scheme of things to be A handful of years, then eternity Under the cold, cold ground in a box Some call that an endless life par·a·dox After all, what are a few hundred worth Or a few thousand years on earth The world will go on forever and a day Or is this a facet of imagination play
