What a surprise
to still be alive
and breathing just fine
The old person
however faint
is still here
beneath every corner
waiting for the right time
to take over again
When all the lights
are too bright
and the dark
is too dark,
when the time stops
and the world collapses,
the old shall meet me again
and we will fight all night
and only in the morning
shall we see who lost
and who won
Leave all the rest wondering
Is victory for the brave
or for the coward
