The Incognizant Dance With Death
HE INCOGNIZANT DANCE WITH DEATH
Avoidance, denial, deception, delusion.
Thing's that we use to not see the conclusion.
The randomness of truth causes continual deflection,
due to constant reminders of our prevailing direction.
The life long endeavor, to attain a long life,
could end prematurely with the slip of a knife.
Whereas faith and hope are all that we have,
they are nothing more than a provisional salve.
Uncertainty dwells in the back of our minds,
The human condition and fear intertwined.
Here today, gone tomorrow,
Most of us wish for more time we could borrow.
The majority will do anything to keep on the blinders,
But just closing our eyes will remove few reminders.
There are 2 main certificates involved in this game, one for birth, one for death, but they sure aren't the same.
So live for today cuz you never do know,
Maybe tomorrow is the time you will go.
