A CLOSE CALL

 

a snake shed it’s skin outside a burrow 

left it there like it was borrowed

pale and opaque it stares 

must be one of nature’s nightmares 

a close call to our soul 

our thoughts eats us up like mole 

life offers only detrimental happiness 

existence so worthless and meaningless 

a close call, a nearly miss 

death comes with thousand steeze 

a loud chime when your time’s up 

like a firm cock, you will drop 

a meaningful pain, meaningless joy 

a ploy to euthanize with coy 

sorrows are forever established 

all souls are born to be perished 

normalcy should be bargained 

my mind is at it again 

how can I wave off these thoughts 

they might make my blood clot 

alas! there goes my sanity 

I swam too long in life’s calamity 

my thought process needs to be in captivity 

an immerse activity
