BLINK

It blinks, yes it does

Once your life flashes before your eyes

It comes as a blink

"In a blink of an eye, you're gone"

So tell me, sorry! I mean, tell us

Why hoard those wealth?

Why hating that fellow?

Why trampling on people?

Oh! Probably you think you will be here forever

Wait, is forever not too much, don't you think?

When at the age of 80

You are already becoming a vegetable

Your skin already in wrinkles

Your breast already sagged 

Your eyes almost losing vision

Your steps already wobbling

Wheelchairs and clutches becomes your crony

Yours steps becomes ordered like arithmetics

If you're lucky, your dentition is intact

But if not, a goal post in sight

If you fear these changes, why being mean?

Why cutting ropes instead of building bridges

Ropes they ought to use in climbing

You keep burning ladders and bridges for human

Even if you respect no one

Why not consider death, Hades

The grim reaper and his scythe 

His harvesting method, the torture and indescribable pain

Oh! Probably you think you will live forever

Igba wo ni maku oniku

Someday, your lungs/heart will give up

Then your wealth will prove useless

Then your life will flash before your eyes

Regrets will fully overwhelm you as you blink slowly

Mother nature will whisper to you

"Six feets awaits you my manure"

Cankerworms in full regalia will party on fresh dinner

NB: "M M" (Momento Mori) is written at the palm of our hands

Meaning (remember you must die)
