If I ever, should I ever, in a storm drawn
Find myself at a cross road, rivers flow
I see arrows pointed in branches broken as it's game over
To be announced, towel thrown in, houses wrecked
Pronounced dead, on circumstance, its shoreline
Debris washed ashore, is it game over, again?
And after the storm calm, have a few good things
Said about me in last rite, he was a good man
Nobody is allowed loud to speak bad of me
An earth place dug, this I can call my plot
Truly my plot for eternity rest
Sign posted with estate of similar
But I ain't ready yet in obituary
For my name to be pronounced with sorrow
Not this day, I ain't ready yet, no
Not now yet, so pull your shot on front line
Aim tight make sure it's bonseye
Then watch matrix Neo, avoid Mr Anderson
Slow motion sees arrows swing by
And the phoenix would rise to show
How birds should fly
...the road...through the air
ReplyDeleteI especially love your closing lines. A remarkable poem.
