Never

 

You will never get to see
A Dodo in Mauritius
A royalty with blue blood
The sun going supernova or
Jack the Ripper being brought to Justice

You will never get to see
The unicorn prancing in the meadows
The farthest planet from earth
The Pink Panther coming alive or
The end of humanity

You will never know
Where is Atlantis
Why aliens have not invaded earth
What did Nero fiddle while Rome burned
Who will be with you at deathbed or
How the pyramids were built

A million things we will never know
A million things we will never see
A million things we will never experience

Yet we worry of small things in life

Worry about who likes us or not
Fret over what to wear
Brood over social media image
Anxious about making more money
Agonize on things we should care less

Let’s just rejoice our short stay
Live life
