THE WARRIOR

I am a warrior,

fighting the battles

of life's challenges,

tripping over the cracks

on the sidewalks,

drinking cold coffee,

listening to sad songs,

working on taxes,

calling in borderline sick,

and driving the combative zone

of rush hour traffic,

what seems so important now

will eventually become 

faded pictures found in a family album

whose dusty covers are a reminder 

that warriors are not immortal.

That last line is absolutely amazing! It stands out the most and it is showing that despite how humanity's landmarks still stands in buildings, riches, etc., we as a people don't last. We can leave a legacy, preserve ourselves in videos and pictures, but our actual selves won't be actually there. Sure, there's cloning but that won't replace a one and only unique you.
