Early Grave

An early grave,

that's what's in store

Can't be saved, can't behave

Reaper wants to put me

under the floor

War in my head

and war abroad

The only wish that I had

was for a broad

who gave good head

and understood

the things that I said

Help me to lay my head

when I go to bed

now I'm seeing red

I can't be saved

I've been led

to an early grave

 

Reaper's waiting

on my number

with his sickle

I'm getting number

he's feeling fickle

Put me down for eternal slumber

I feel his blade start to tickle

my carotid

He's taking dibs, taking bids

on just how

he will get rid

of this punk kid

His methods, are myriad

Dip my soul in acid

or open my skull up like a lid

take a look in

so dark and morbid

I can't be saved

I've been led

to an early grave

 

I know him,

first name Grim

I'm on thin ice

a fragile limb

Last name Reaper

sing a hymn

brother's keeper

Find religion

but the soulseeker

He ho hums, has his fun

It's, too late for that son

It could be a gun,

a sudden stun

but when it is all

said and done

My downfall

is my own fault

Can't blame y'all

I'll take the fall

I can't be saved

can't behave

Heading straight

to an early grave

Death is inevitable, yet we, as society, spend billions on life prolonging drugs....which in turn, cause other ailments, to decrease lifespan....
We live, to die...but we're all dying to start living.
This is a well written piece, not passing the blame for your demise onto others, but accepting yourself for your flaws and the mistakes made. That takes courage.
Bravo!

;-) You know, we scare him off if we seem to willing to go with him, ol' Death .................
