WHEN YOU ARE BORN

When you are born
Your chances of dying
Are one hundred percent.
They don't tell you this up front,
Not right at the start,
But it's a fact.
And, in the end, you know that to be so.
You can fake it for a while
With chocolate, jelly beans
And heavy-duty hard-core sex
Involving highly-trained rabbits and burning automobile tires,
But realization forces through,
In the end.
This is a truth, and you can take it to the bank:
Life is a chute,
A one-way downhill
With a boneheap waiting at the bottom.
