This Life's Journey

This Life's Journey 

One day it will cease to continue.
The lights of its streets will turn off,
And the sounds of its business will vanish.

Wether you will be ready or not,
It Won't matter, your clock will stop
And you will rest, eternally!

All that you have worked hard for
Will be left to be shared 
Either peacefully or violently.

Food and drinks will be served
And tears will flow with broken hearts;
It will be an end of an era.

Live the moments, cherish the memories,
Tomorrow is just a day that may never be
And you may never know.

Sobering truths, Chris. Thank you for sharing them. I thought the poem was very well structured and loved the imagery. You may wish to change the 'typo' wether to whether.
