THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

True fact

I've always believed every thing must die
It's when and how thats the roullette wheel
We've been told that it's the way it is
It's all part of the final deal

But not all living forms are born to die
And on this I will make you wise
The Turritopsis Nutricula won't die naturally
To most people this will come as a surprise

This Jellyfish, it grows old like us
But at the end a certain gene kicks in
Like Dorian Grey, it grows young again
Then once more the aging processes begin

I'm sure future scientist's will look at this
On their search for the fountain of youth
But i'm sure to most people one trips enough
And to them this would surely be uncouth

So go and check this on the web
And you'll see that this is true
Then when someone says 'everything must die'
You'll know different friend, won't you
