Clay Young Jr. Poet I do not know?

Victim and Thief

VICTIM AND THIEF


Your life is nothing until your death
You were never there until you’d left
You never know until you don’t
You never would until you can’t
You’ll never see until you’re blind
You’ll lose your head if you don’t mind


Everything you forget is lost
Everything is free, plus cost
Everybody’s owned subliminally
Everybody’s labeled criminally


Nothing’s healthy but your wounds
Nothing painful is over soon
Oh the living you will do!
Now that the dying one is you


No one’s ever young until they’re older
Everyone is cold until they’re colder
