UNCERTAINTY OF LIFE
The actual life span designed for us; twice three scores as we read in the books
Why doesn't it happen, is a mystery even wise men evade
I have been here 20 years
A hundred more to go; says the sages
Lost in the crucible of uncertainties, I ask myself, will I ever age with grace?
On my trudge through the bustling streets, I see rallying placards of fallen ones.
Pallbearers with caskets dancing to the harmony of trumpets.
Every passing moment, searchlights protrude from every angle ready to transport passengers to the afterlife
The pastor has proclaimed long life a thousand times, and I in response have echoed Amen! A million more
But was it ever enough is a question I ask myself
I was scared!
Yes I was scared
Scared of untold truths
Lost in the half way line of disillusions
I saw myself on a fence, not knowing what path to tread
What would save me? The crescent or the cross? I wondered
Well it needs a mystical answer
Friends and foes alike have all been swept away by the swaying scythe of the grim reaper
A fellowship of ugly faces making mockery of my solicitude, has now become my daily entertainment
The story of Enoch abated my fears
Could it happen again? My head sang songs of foolishness in sprightly tunes
The euphoria, as I glide unto the beyond, accompanied by the voice of Bellion
A death note, is not the greatest of gifts, perhaps man's obligation to pass on
I know I will die but first let me live
