The Last Moment
The last moment of our lives
Shall come
Like it or not
Even if one is not ready
Still the life fetcher
Will show up without delay
Who would know
How to prepare
For a journey unknown
Facing this ending so terminal
Fear may occupy our minds
As resistance is futile
Why not settle with peace
No more burden to our weary souls
With regrets too late to mend
The heart will strike its last beat
The lungs will exhale the final breath
The brain will slip into oblivion
Let’s just drift with the flow
Nature will take over
To impose our return to dust
