Futility

From birth to senility
And eventual disability
In a nursing facility,
Encumbered throughout life
By strife, struggle, vanity
And constant wars' insanity,
Life is fraught with the debility
Of an ever increasing futility,
From the original erection
To the less than
Immaculate conception
On to the resurrection,
Futility is man's direction,
From the very birth of humanity
To their final destiny
In a nuclear catastrophe.
