Who are we

What are we
when fame fame fortune flicker
falter fade
will any remember?
who are we
as paraphernalia pall
reputations no more enthrall
will any recall?
Just the sum of
others memories
or is there more
days of yore
more yesterdays
in store?
Is this all then
three score and ten
can life go on
does love prolong?
Hark heed
singer &; his song!
