Perseverance is Ignorance

You could try,
You could spend your whole life,
every waking moment,
trying to help,
to protect,
to safeguard those you love,
but life's a bullet,
with one name on it,
so all your effort,
all the hard work,
every minute of your life,
would be wasted,
if you aren't in death's crosshairs,
if your name isn't on that bullet,
then it won't be your time,
but it will be theirs.
and there's nothing you can do about it.
