Expiration Date:

You feel it coming

should be in, on and

around everything

Expiration Dates mean something

pay heed from the beginning

Ignore it,

fight a battle

backing zero winners

Flexing pure prays weight

cutting down

on the sinners

 

All of us are rotting

ever since our precious birth

Expiration Dates foretelling

of what we’re really worth

Ignore it,

face a conflict

stuck forever in debate

While I rest adjacent

decking your

days hate

 

All men created equal but,

don’t practice what they preach

Expiration date’s approaching

we were taught, now we must teach!

Ignore it,

keep on walkin’ till

you know it’s much too late

a victim of

your own accord and

the next stirred Nations fate
