Borrowed

As you traverse through the universe
The thought occurs
You’re plagued by curse
The pain gets worse
Organ activity stalls
Your skull becomes hollow wall
Mortality is the reality
That seems to stop us all
So as you traverse
Maneuver lightly
Live life, feelings spritely
Always be lively
Withers your wit
So never sit
Make up for the deficit
And you won’t grow decrepit
Till something shocks your system
Obliterates all your wisdom
Pale as your skin numbs
And momentum
Carries you to the grave
Numbered were your days
Always
Don’t forget to wave
Good bye to all the cryers
Emotions raging like fire
Slip into solemn solstice
And carry on through the wire
