One Poem Closer To Death Poem by Bob and Alex Eichen

From the moment you are born
You've begun your journey towards death
It is a certainty no man can avoid
Death is closer
With every step you take
Closer
The clock ticks
Death is one second closer
Closer
Accident? Disease?
Crime? War?
Who may know?
Perhaps death will come peacefully while you are at rest
Asleep
Dreaming
You awake!
Glad to be alive
Now you're one dream closer to death
You finish this poem
One poem closer to
Death!
