Mortality


Press play.


 Foundation of the piece.


A theme many don't consider until it's too late.


People taking people for granted, thinking they'll be around forever.


Title:


Mortality 


(A lone voice whispers)


My name doesn’t matter

Only one question matters


Who would you really miss

If you could only give them


One last mortal goodbye kiss, tomorrow 


Which one of your family

Friends or relatives 


All beloved folks in your Houses of Representatives


Would leave you wallowing in true sorrow?


For as true as the cock crows 


No-one is promised a date with Lady Tomorrow
