LIFE AND DEATH – My take (2)
(My two cents, for what it’s worth)

The Grim Reaper strikes
when the time is ripe
"Your turn,'' says he
"has just arrived"

Not all your prayers
nor all your tears
Can make him change
half of his mind

No place to run to
nowhere to hide
No one to challenge
His indomitable might

Life's a merry-go-round
of joy and sorrow
Happy today
and sad tomorrow

So enjoy the pleasure
and suffer the pain
That’s life my friend
it’s all in the game

And when death raises
its ugly head
And shows you the door
it’s time to go
...time to go

LIFE AND DEATH – My take (1)
(My two cents, for what it’s worth)

We’ve had our day
and we’re on the way
Oblivion, here we come
when the day is done

Born today and
gone tomorrow
That’s the way
the story goes

No restore points
and no reboots
No reinstalls
and no more oops

Good times, bad times
the medicine and the wine
They come and go
like a revolving door

Carnivals and funerals
heaven and 'ell
Victories and defeats
life’s bittersweet

Just keep breathing till
the heart stops beating
When your number's up
it's lights out, you're history

So wail no more and
rail no more
Hark! The next generation
is knocking on the door!
