Never Ending

A dearth of death
we’d deem divine
but would the breadth
of births be fine
Who’d win the race
for food and space
as crowds get loud

Working For It

Death follows me
ever closer
quickly, slowly
stopping no sir
So nor will I
I will defy
not wait for fate

The horoscope
said don’t go out
I wouldn’t cope
with what’s about
So I’ll stay here
and feed your fear
with whispered bliss
