That's the Way It Is

Thoughts of growing old To turn witherd and grey Though it isn't now It will happen some day Does the idea of death scare you? If so it does to me too. I don't remember being born So maybe I won't when life is torn Makes you wonder what this life is How many people will be there to mourn Forget money and power. Forget fortune and fame Family and friends are what matter Unfortunately though they have forced us to scatter Divide and conquer seems to be the play So what will you do today? Make our way. Or pray for a better tomorrow? When I die. I don't need sorrow Don't grieve they say The spirit has left me in a way Expired now Thats just the way it is

B.L., interesting thoughts well-expressed. "morn" should be "mourn." Be sure to watch spelling and punctuation because they bring a reaction from your readers. This is a fine piece of work.
