Both Ends of the Spectrum

By Sealed Identity

seconds till you die, what will be your last thoughts?

anything needed for the forgiving angels to dust away?
Can you believe it ended like this?
a broken hammer and an iron fist.
listen to me, I am your unconvincing voice,
trying to relieve you of all your pain,
I am the one reviving you
from what the majority calls insanity.
I am saying goodbye to all of this,
last chance for last calls at the bar,
selfish, stubborn, and opinionated no more.
HEEEELLLLLLLLOOOOOO to a squeaky clean conscience.
Acts of kindness are performed religiously.
What a pity, because only the good die young
and you are next in line.
Start focusing on something other than what's dead in your life.
