Tick

Tock

Tick

Tock

That is the sound of more than a clock

It’s the soundtrack of life drawing to its last stanza

While with your last breath sir death does stalk

Pushing stop on your music, welcome eternal coma

Thump

Thump

Thump

Thump

The beat of your heart like a steady drum’s snare

Giving cadence to life as you walk, unprepared

One day the beating will suddenly suspend

For on tomorrow’s drum beat you cannot depend.
