Is it better to take it? <br />Is it better to fight? <br />Will I wind up in traction? <br />Beaten out of the night, <br />Will I ever win? <br />This torrid war affair, <br />Before the grave snares me <br />Places me right there... <br /> <br />With one foot in the grave, <br />One foot in the grave, <br />One foot in the grave, <br />One foot in the grave, <br />I think I’m dead! <br /> <br />Will the world beyond <br />Be a better place? <br />Will I have the right? <br />To look on any face, <br />Treat the populace <br />As a humbled kin, <br />And shake the hand of Peter <br />As I’m ushered in, <br /> <br />With one foot in the grave, <br />One foot in the grave, <br />One foot in the grave, <br />One foot in the grave, <br />I think I’m dead! <br /> <br />So do I live aloft? <br />In a paradise, <br />With the saints of god <br />Right before my eyes, <br />Or did I live before <br />In this hidden plain, <br />But couldn’t see <br />Cause I whined all day, <br /> <br />With one foot in the grave, <br />One foot in the grave, <br />One foot in the grave, <br />One foot in the grave, <br />So am I dead? <br />27/06/09 ADO<br /><br />Adam Parker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-foot-in-the-grave/
