"Keep talking till your last breath" -- Robert James Liguori
______________________________________________
"Keep talking till your last breath" These are words of wisdom shadowing death. A bird will sing until he smacks that window pane, And a corona victim will utter hope until there is no more to gain. A worship hall will aggregate prayers for those fighting for life, They'll pierce the sound barrier just like a knife. But noises we utter is way more than sound, it's a lifetime of fulfillment that we found. So cry, chant, yelp and howl, Be one with nature, as we found. Our lungs are the engine of our desire, and to the last breath will speak like fire. For close to us are ones that we hold dear, And to the final hour, they'll be our ears.
