final account

before life begins
we accrue fictional sins
so guilt always wins
lest any deem themselves free
to alter reality

dollars and distance
do not measure existence
despite persistence
constant debt all but assured
within this credit card world

is living better
starting off as a debtor
shame's main abettor
always in the negative
when all else is relative

to death all succumb
becoming what we become
in part and in sum
being soon enough degrades
until last remembrance fades

like the dinosaur
the future won't fear our roar
care what we abhor
leaving only the remains
produced by once human brains
