Life Too Short
i.
Laying there helpless on life support
As time ticks away like a time bomb
Not concerned about anything or anyone
Relishing the depths of life as it comes
Soon we will mourn the death of a man
Who strengthens us on a daily basis
Wishing we could replace our life for his
Realizing that it won’t happen, we still
Continue to pray.
ii.
Driving on a rainy, dark road of South Carolina
Looking like an endless tunnel
With white stripes rapidly passing
One by one.
At the same time wanting and urging the feeling to be home
We talk about life experiences we faced so far
And within seconds the vehicle is upended
With the sound of a blast, hitting the car
brings flashbacks from what sins I have done in the past
A wake-up call from my reality nightmare.
iii.
With two kids and a cheating, divorced wife
He is financially low, and jobless
With the economy is in a state of emergency
It’s harder than ever to obtain success
He receives no family support to help him during this rough part in life
When faced with adversity, he decides to make a decision
He robs.
Thinking that life is lavish and with doubts in his mind
It comes to an abrupt end.
