Out of Time

Planning your demise is like 

tip-toeing on a tight rope    

realising there's no net

challenging a 

speeding car and

daring it to stop

mortgaging your manhood

amassing liabilities with no program of repayment

leaping to the wrong conclusions

leaning toward self-delusions

indulging in the same old 

self-defeating speculations

endorsing self-destruction 

'til you're finally out of time!
