Mortality is Relative

 

Not everyone gets long to live

and no one lives forever

Today's average is 70 years,

i believe.

and 70 isn't long

In the bible people lived to 700.

and thats not long.

There are trees growing

they've been there for over a thousand years.

and thats not long

Scientists say the moon is over a billion years old

Isn't earth older?

Isn't the sun older?

How long does the sun live?

Scientists say about 12 billion

How the "bleep" do they know that?

Who do they think they are?

What am I?

Who are you to say you know better?

One day the sun will die.

Maybe I'll live to see it.
