Come now
The last night is fast approaching
The curtain is falling
I wait for you this time
It’s the last hour
The last night
The last time
Come now for the sake of God
It’s the last breath
I will spend
Asking you
Don’t be late
Not now
With the last breath you have left
My friend come to God
Before you leave me bereft
From my lips to yours
I beg that my plea is heard
Repent
Ask for forgiveness
Ask for the one who can save you
I promise
He won’t ever turn away from you

Your friends
They came
Washed your body
Shrouded you
Stayed for your burial
Drank a shot or two in your name
And left again
Who cares after
The last breath is taken
They organise your last event
And there’s nothing left to say

You didn’t listen to me
Whilst you lived
And life betrayed you
To the people of this world
I salute you
Tomorrow I too
Will bid you farewell
And depart on
My last journey
