when the pain comes
drawn from hubris, intensity, and other assorted feelings
it’ll cut as deeply as the blackest of holes
we shall toast ye as old mate
legend and warrior
a sadness persisting
when the punishment comes
drawn from a simple entitlement of payments due
numbness will masks tears masking fears
•
when the day comes to shut it all off
drawn from the culmination of sins and vices
committed against self and society
we shall toast ye as friend o’ all
timeless and permanent
as fake as fool’s gold
when the bookie comes to collect
the piper calling for you to join him
a grim reaper beckoning
