i want to experience <br />the sensation of death <br />before the drugs <br />take effect <br />-all my life i have <br />taken the heat <br />leaped over the flames <br />as they licked my ass <br />-stood toe to toe <br />with my adversaries <br />and taken my blows <br />with impious dignity <br />i have tested the truths <br />as well as the myths <br />i have lived life <br />to its fullest extent <br />so why not be <br />the same way when <br />facing death- <br />before their drugs <br />take effect___<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dying-is-like-taking-a-vacation-and-going-to-cleveland/
