Could Go

4/22/17 No intentions of being misleading Could go by bleeding Is one way of leaving As the heart stops beating And the lungs stop breathing Also could be caused from exsanguination Across a pagan nation Could go by strangulation Which'll cause and make abrasions With no intentions of making a statement Pulse rapid then slowing Could go by overdosing Knowing It comes with the risk of choking Could go While on the road Or in your own home You just never know The voices calling On any side of the walling Could go by falling The outcome would be appalling Yet enthralling Like something never before seen, or only in a drawing Above the Earth's layers Could go by the might of Mother Nature Whether your on land or in a ship as a sailor The odds just may not go in your favor Sooner than later The sight of even greater danger Among objects that are inanimate Could go by accident Tragic and just about as bad as it gets Near and far from any waters with halibut Only an earthling Could go by burning With zero chance of returning Might be considered disturbing But there are technically worse things No guarantees Could go by disease Anywhere, not just by the seas Or any trees and leaves Whether your a kid, teen Or ninety three Regardless of if it involves being annointed It's been one heck of a voyage Could go by poison Which could be quick or miserable and far from joysome I'll tell you what it wouldn't taste anything like Hoisin And like usual fingers would probably get pointed Due to one too many mistakes Could go up in space On a ship or base At a slow or rapid pace Whether or not the pulse began to race All of us are fallible Could go by getting eaten by a cannibal Or some kind of animal Whether or not their claws are retractable Nobodies laughing Could go by crashing Whether or not it's your fault, still come the sirens and lights flashing Like they say nothing is truly everlasting Before during or after nine Could go due to it being my time Which would be fine And rather benign Except that I need to finish this rhyme By: Dalton Ogletree
