Dose Into Eternity

Dose Into Eternity

A solemn choice for Monarchs blend
 beneath the barren sod I reflect
 the notion of death in its timely plight
 forget the night & the day is far spent

 I have lived a life that's full
 filled with happiness & sad times to
 perhaps I have bitten off far more then I could chew
 one in twain yet marked on a blotted page still clearly intact

 working to hard can give anyone a heart attack
 yet through the duration of time I have created a rhyme
 a tug at the heart will light the inner spark to where I need to go
 choose to bury me upside down so the watching world can kiss me

 we frolic long in our temporal dwelling
 fix our eyes on the sophistication of the day
 a humble desire to ever bow the knee to pray
 yet the unbelieving world claims it ought not be that way

 still deep inside we hide behind the four walls that bind
 its best to leave a lasting legacy in a world of make believe
 many choose to live by sight & curse the day they were born
 swallow your pride cause deep inside there's a star transformed

 they teach you in school to act proper & be cool
 yet who are they I pity the fool
 when all that you have to give & your time comes full circle
 don't ever get caught playing second fiddle or be in its middle

 Only one life is soon to be passed
 Only what's done for love will last
 For no one in this life gets by on a free pass
 Aim your arrows high in the sky

 Watch as the eagle will soar high as it fly !
