Empty Pursuits

The banker's millions, the beggar's cent
Oh, all is gone when all is spent
The singer's record, the actor's name
The world will soon forget their fame

The artist's canvas, the writer's books
Collect the dust where no one looks
The runner's swiftness, the archer's eye
They slowly fail as time goes by
