Lead a Life...

by Sheldon   May 18, 2006


Sittin' here playin' FreeCell on my PC
Just an excuse to escape reality.
Learnin' again, to gain what I lack
Why don't you just get off my back?

Listenin' to complicating tunes
While I mark this page with foreign runes
Read the papers, to see what looms
A whole lotta nothin' & a whole lotta gloom

What's this world turning into
A menagerie, a universal zoo
Humans are fast depleting
As the death watch continues its beating

Death is spinnin' his web of demise
Through an intricate network of lies -
"Straight from the horse's mouth"
We are not superior. Just uncouth

He hath let loose the hounds of hell
So, ring that warning bell
Our lives depend on it
Promise me you'll strive & will not quit

Hold me near
I love you, dear
Promise me you'll never leave
And promise you'll ne'er deceive

I promise we'll leave this world together
Aged like old leather,
Promise me a life we'll lead
As happy as a water'd seed...
