Death and Taxes

P. Diane Biffle
The world spins wildly on its warped axis
Daylight to darkness, beginning to end
Another day done, another begins
Nothing certain 'cept for death and taxes

Floating and flying through infinite skies
Quicksilver changes unfold in a blur,
Eons and decades no more than obscure
Centuries pass in a blink of god's eyes

Orbital journey encircles the sun,
Elliptical path to absolute truth
Procrastination is positive proof
Youth is wasted on the ignorant young

The sun may burn out, the heaven's may fade,
But death and taxes will always remain.
