We all someday have to die
And leave our loved ones wondering why
And we pretend surprise
At the throw of the dice
When in fact all we feel is relieve
That it is not us who had to leave

People to see, places to go
Lives to live, money to make
And always something to do
All an illusion everything fake

Quickly tweet your latest brilliant idea
Facebook status – *** I just had tea!
And all your thousands of online friends
Press like and share the latest trends

But all too soon the end is near
No money could buy you more life
And suddenly you are consumed with fear
For everything you did was a waste of time
