Al'Z Hammered But Game
Al’z hammered but game
That life-is-death syncopation thang
is how the master described old age
And there was nothing to be done
for it as the Maharishi Budh Moham Red
became a child again on his deathbed,
lost the last remnants of control,
his pants, biologically speaking
and kicked the bucket, passed on,
disappeared…died.
Even animals feel empathy, just but observe
the slaughter of their kin
So imagine my surprise at the Budh
wisdom revealed, routinely, as I drove
for my meal only to be amazed by the
fact
that I could not remember what my home
looked like, where it was, astonished
at the failure beyond my control.
Heaven is attained
or is it decreed?
Exonerated by faith
that somewhere in time I remember.
Haunted by my poor timing.
