Oh beauty riding the arrow of time
Is all your vanity, worth more than a dime ?
You smile so sneeringly today
But who will you sneer at, on that very day
The arrow strikes its darkest target
The unmissable target, of decay and death
Of sickness , misery and ill health
Doesn't all this beauty, just whiter away ?
Luck may save you, but not forever
You can't even evade it, by being
clever
Wrinkles and freckles will still greet your face
As the arrow proceeds in its unheeded pace
Isn't all beauty but skin deep
When maggots feast on the rest
Oh beauty riding the arrow of time
