Death Looms

Today I saw another man dead,
laying in the street
blanket covering his head,
but he wasn’t victim to the streets
he was victim to the calories,
his addiction to the meat
made him weak.
It clogged up in his veins
and the battle continued
for them to see who reigns,
supreme.

To see who’s the supreme being,
with calories being the victor,
attacking his heart
by cutting off is blood supply,
now the people wonder why
and how he came to lie in the street
watching from police lines
not really bothered by the heat.

The ambulance has come and gone already,
there’s nothing they could
he was D.O.A
for them it’s just another day,
for his wife its pain in a major way.

As I feel the sun burning my skin
he burns in hell’s kitchen.
till the end of days he’ll be fishing
in the big, red ocean of fire,
I bet it wasn’t his hearts desire.

This is just to remind that death looms
every breath and each step
brings you closer to doom.
