By: Cedric McClester How many heartbeats are left? For someone who created The nation’s greatest theft By stealing a national election Leaving others bereft How many heartbeats ‘til death? How many heartbeats are left? For someone who is heartless Or lacks empathy at best Just how many would you Venture to guess How many heartbeats ‘til death? How many heartbeats are left? I’m not just asking in jest How long will his heart Continue to compress Before it stops beating in his chest How many heartbeats ‘til death? How many heartbeats are left? I pose this strange question Just merely to suggest That the exact number Can’t be assessed How many heartbeats ‘til death? Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2017. All rights reserved.
