Old Age

On a dinosaurs last breath,
that final apocalyptic heave,
a million aching pains,
old bone, against old bone,
one last rumbling roar,
one final thrashing victory,
in the land of dreaming,
move,push,lift,come on,
one last wrenching endeavor,
come on push, push against
that evolutionary demon,
SURVIVE ! LIVE ON ! never
stop, until that dark,silver
sickle carrying, black robed,
skeleton faced, angel of
death, hunts you down, to
get his prize, to mount on
his castle wall.
