knife, gun, pills, balcony, suffocation, jump, run, stop, hit,
split second.
which way to run or not to run at all.
stop, start, hesitate, return to position, aim, shoot,
never stall.
have a nice meal, don't hold back,
pick any stranger to get in the sack.
don't look back.
get it while the gettin's good.
do it. you knew it.
I'd do it and do it again,
before it's too late.
never look back at Heaven's gate.
got one chance, until it's done.
the messier the better;
in the name of fun.
give it; take it.
plan it if you must.
the doing is the ultimate thrill,
in this we trust.
cram it, jam it, force it till it breaks.
give it your all, for heaven's sakes.
there is no heaven if there can be no hell.
buying religion can seem so swell.
an honest millionaire will never tell.
it's easy as that;
a tit for a tat.
grab your ak47;
a rata tat tat.
mice in the rafters,
butter in the fridge,
a few more seconds
might equal a smidge.
what do we care
how we do it in the end.
when all we do is manage
just to pretend.
so shout it from the roof tops,
pull up your boot straps
where they ought to be;
give it to me straight.
it's just you and me.

Catherine - Thanks much!
Jon - Thanks very much for your great comment. And you, sir, do just fine with your various styles of writing and commentary. Big fan of yours!
Mimetalker - Thanks! Often mine is spewing out the words and thoughts faster than I can capture them but then there are the long periods of writer's block in between. "Fits and starts."
Thoth - Wow, thanks so much! It was a fun write, to be sure!
Thanks for coming by and tapping to the beat!
But I had fun too,
trying to keep up with the likes of you!
Yep, lots of fun, Cathy! Smiling here. : )
