(20 minute poetry)


Bravo
although a bit slow
we made it

gives a high five to
those left alive
the others we'll bury
at dawn

It was hard and was long
(these are not the words to a song)
it was panic and fear but we slowly
got here,
our sense of achievement outweighed
by those we leant on
on the way.

this is what life is
the climb from the abyss
the falling apart
and
knowing where it will end
we start anyway.

I'm on my way
why wouldn't I be?
been here long enough
to know
we all go in

The End.

and then the end carries on
( not the words in another song )
and carries us with it
to sit in some Mansion?
(Difficult)
but I can get down and
get with it
if it's  
part of the program.
