This poem just came to me, and flowed from my mouth to the page. Not my best work, but it's raw and untouched.


It's Time, My Son

Walking ahead, eyes down
Blurred images flashing all around
Parting ways for huddled pass
Grouching tired souls harass

Walk a little faster, hands to capote
Coughing gravel, hands to throat
Stop a second, take a breath
Soon its here, time for death

Mounting lines, excited talk
Eyes down, continued walk
Screeching tires, light to red
Lying still, asphalt to head

Raspy gasps, blurs surround
Echoes blaring, alarms sound
Tears cascading, pain galore
Angels singing, Heaven's door.
