Minding My Mind

In those dark days 
When every time is a down time

Those days when for a dime
You could spare a prime rhyme
And pay a dollar for a cent 

Those days when the slimy 
Tongues of foes wag in ecstasy
Those days when life seems to turn tide 
And you feel God has finally gone blind 
Alas! I think of death, like I am right now 

Say you know how I feel
We only are playing the truth
Smiling with a sweet tooth
It's only if Dzogbeze Lisa has abandoned you 
In the thick forests with clouding trees 
Will you really know

Death really can bring life 
But I'll deny them the pleasure
I'll work for success and not to die for it

I'll poke death in face and smile back at life
