Delayed Pulse of a Curse
You never know
you may possess the eternity gene
the one that morphed from mundane into miracle.
It would seem wonderful... at first
you'd become a star
you tube phenom
a best seller
everybody screaming for an autograph
a touch of your polyester robe
the envy of the universe....
delayed pulse of a curse
You've outlived a million wives
10 million houses
100 million friends
chained to a chain of your children's funerals
a million sorrows that never end.
You've outlived your favorite constellation
and no longer look at the darkening sky-
you are blind,,,to the possibility of ever meeting God
you pray for the blessing of a death. never to come
you'd eventually be pitied as a freak
treated as a leper
to be avoided at all costs
chained to life for eternity
a never-ending cosmic flaw.
