Momento Mori

by HeartofThunder

Latin Mortality People coping carelessly, Dissociating, crossly, staring crassly, Stilled in fantasy and logic phallusies, Yet time ticks and life leaks, Money makes me more, Under false guise of one who seeks, Love, height, esteem, sight, seeking a dream, Bulky bags, brimming bucks, books and buffets, Broad, full or empty, Doesn’t matter the stacked inventory, It’s how the items are used, Momento Mori, Was your energy used efficiently? Will you grow in elegance and prosperity? Effortless legacies echoing down corridors of time, What will you be remembered for? Are you fine with what you’ve left unsaid? Who you’ve led or wed? Who you’ve fed a lie or made cry? Always remember you will die, Ten good deeds? A score? Does it outweigh the dark? Do you care which heavenly bells hark? Strong formidable, body healthy, A traumatized mind stares at a reflection, That of a skeleton, Drained, caned, infamy preordained, Bogged down by mental mortal chains, Social strains, driving him insane, Perspectively it will never end, Even death is just another time encapsulated den, Forever adding details, To a undefined gory story, Forever and always, Momento Mori...
