My life is rarely easy and I don’t much care to stay, <br />yet I woke up this very morning all bright and oh so gay. <br /> <br />Something deep inside me is keeping the Reaper at bay, <br />be it just for now, or for the entire day. <br /> <br />Its been such a lovely day what with the reaper being so far away. <br />Yet I know he’ll come visit me when my day is again very grey. <br /> <br />Tomorrow, I fear is coming, where I’ll pray he will take me away. <br />No matter what the angels say, my decision will never sway. <br /> <br />The time is now upon me and he comes to show me the way. <br />We walk through a tunnel of light, so I know I’ll not lose my way. <br /> <br />I stand before god himself who opens the book of Life. <br />I’m judge upon my actions from my birth up until my demise. <br />Memories from my very birth flash before my eyes, <br />right up to the present day which wasn’t very nice! <br /> <br />I realize this is Judgment day for which I’m bound to fail. <br />Yet he lifts his hands, and low and behold, I’m back to start again!<br /><br />Robert Megicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poetic-justice-12/
