Biting into the innards
Eating me alive
The bitter truth about life
Ebbing slowly away
Moving toward the grave
Elements beckon
Fire, water, wind and earth
Clamoring for the remains
The truth mocks at me
Man’s follies and travesties
Keep him busy till last
While his soul yearns to be free
Hoping for a life better next time
Pining to meet beloved ones
While this life ebbs slowly away
Moments filled to brim with madness
When you waste this life given
And chase all glories in vain
When your children lie in wait
For your caress and presence
Isn’t it time you lived first?
This life you’ve been blessed
Or squander it all away
And wait for a glorious life next

true, dear friend:
there is laways
so much here
to loveand chersih
and not knowing that
and not doing that
there is nothing to gain in the next
excuse me, while I enjoy my cup of tae and my son's company...

Poet,
I won't waste this one,
Or wait for the next,
Destined for nirvana,
That is the best.
