Death and I

Life is like a board game
Except with death.

You make a move,
So does death.

One step forward i take,
One step forward death takes.

Why is life so long,
When people say life is short

Why am i like this?
Why do i hate this?

Soon death and i,
Will come face to face

That day is near
I can feel it close

I move six places,
Death takes twelve

I wrote him a letter
To say, hurry up i don't like this life

He answered me with,
The amount of moves you take,
I shall double

I need a lucky six,
I'll get a lucky twelve

Half way there,
Just a few more steps

And i will be there
Meeting death

Ending with death.
