Right & RealityA Poem by John B. BollingWhile there is a discrepancy Between right and reality It is no reason to be worried No justification to fear For the day will soon come When I disappear Way beneath the gallows Swathed in a ghoulish glow It is not a source of alarm No reason for fright For death greets everyone Frigid and impolite Fractured circle incomplete Uncertain future replete No room for me to grow No cause for concern It is time for the rising sun Only skin left to burn Phosphoric odors permeate These humble days saturate It is no reason to turn away It has already begun The air shall soon escape From these tired lungs Destiny now within view My reality becoming askew It is what happens to all No reason for dread For the time has finally come To learn how to be dead © 2009 John B.
