The Last Stand
By Poetic Warlock
One night I had a dream-I heard a blood curdling scream
It was death
approaching me
Thirty two years I've escaped the clutches of
death
I'm exhausted and out of breath
It's time to straighten
my tie and man up!
Slip on these boxing gloves and stand up!
"Ding,Ding" is the sound of the bell
I was determined to fight my
way out of hell!
The Grim Reaper dances around the ring
Blow after blow my body and face feel the sting
His fists
never miss,he's lightening fast
My the end of this fight I'll be dead
or in a body cast!
He bobs and weaves trying to avoid me
And just like Muhammed Ali-
"Float like a butterfly,sting
like a bee!"
Taking me further into Death Valley!
My back is against the ropes
I begin to doubt and give up hope
I took a hit,my eye split,and I tumbled like an acrobat!
With a splat,my back hit the mat!
I lost consciousness,but
could hear voices all around me
This eerie voice hissed,"Join us in
hell for eternity!"
I felt my chest jolt and life flowed
through my spine
I opened my eyes immediately,felt like a new man
To my surprise I had survived The Last Stand!!
