• 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…
