Hobson's Choice

We are never allowed a voice
When gasping for our final breath
And Hobson didn't offer a choice
We are never allowed a voice
There is no reason to rejoice
For in the regnant grasp of death
We are never allowed a voice
When gasping for our final breath

Wise and touching words about that last moment of life. "We are never allowed a voice". A moment to relinquish all ego. Wonderful writing, and congrats on your top win, Jenna.

You captured the final moment well in your verse Jenna, unfortunately a choice we'll all be given at the end. Tom

Let's not tarry on the thought, Tom. He won't listen to our voices, so we'll tune him out, too! Thanks so much.
