Can – Must ⁰

Mar 6, 2006 by admin in Blog, My Poetry Tags: Can, Must, poem

Among things
This is a certainty in life
“A young person CAN
But an old person MUST die”

Why can’t you see
That accepting nature’s laws
Isn’t acceptable to me
It’s like drawing f*cking straws

It’s a game of chance
The shortest straw will meet its fate
I don’t wanna be a part of this dance
But then Oh yeah it’s already too late

With the straw in your hand
You keep feeding me these words
Your hand is shut, you don’t know yet where you stand
But you must know that hearing this hurts

So that raises one question in my head
The very reason why it is that you share
These words you just said
Is it ME or YOU you’re trying to prepare ??
