But getting more down to earth,
It is the simple things from our birth.

Air,
water, food and shelter, first,
Before we can quench that love thirst.

But most take those things for granted,
Although they never really were.

Lives today depend on quick action,
Heimlich maneuver kind of traction.

From pacemakers to stents we extend life,
But when we fail, only action prevents strife.

With Life Alert we make the call,
To 911,
EMTs come quick after a fall.

There is a pill for everything under the sun,
Most of them help; some we should run.

If it is you, this rhyme depends,
Many ways that we stop life ends.

Pray if you like and thank your lucky stars,
You can even think of going to Mars.

Let alone survive there if you Musk.
