Final Breath

never followed a course
my life could have been worse

received sarcastic jabs
and rode plenty of cabs

called many names
and played some games

when all is said and done
and my life's almost gone

judge my actions
no distractions

my heart was always pure
though my faith wasn't sure

evil and good
my neighborhood

What's waiting after death?
I won't fear final breath
