The End of An Existence

Like dusk coming, my end is nearing...
                             it's the end of an existence;
                                ask me about anything
                                   that I desired to do
                                       before dying:
                                        love myself...
                                            a bit
                                            more?     


                           When death comes knocking as a mad man 
                                   I have to halt its hand ready
                                    to strike me and finish me; 
                                    there was a great mission 
                                      I was assigned to do:
                                        and being this old
                                          is no obstacle!
                                           I'm still strong,
                                               to fight 
                                                blight!
