Nothing is Certain

I am reminded by current events that nothing in life is certain...

Only death & taxes so they say

Maybe someday we will be free of taxes

Is death also such a certainty?

So few of us make it through the starting gate

How could one dare to believe in immortality?

All of us exist,

Though some exist not in the memory of the collective

Only in the memory of the ones who loved them

Who also shall one day pass on

Left only in the memories of the ones who loved them

How long the chain of love

That binds us all together

How short the tempers of hatred

That tear us apart

Dreams unrealized

Go with us to the light
