No One Can Escape The Inevitable

Death chases me
But i escape every time
But when will
That fatefull day come
When it is my turn in line

As the years go by
My tears have dried
No more can i see
Beyond the horizon
Of the fading blue sky

My family wants me to stay
My family continues to pray

But the time gets near
And we realize how
Our wasted moments were
Most dear

We will never get back
The mindless banter
Of sitting around the table
Eating food that will
Make bigger and fatter

We will never get back
The moments wasted
Wishing for one thing
Or another
Or praying for
A female child to
Have a younger brother

We will never get back
The opportunity to say
I am sorry
I love you
Don't ever think
Anyone is ever
Above you

We will never get back
The opportunity to study
When we wanted to party
The opportunity to party
When we wanted to stay home
The opportunity to stay home
When we wanted to work

We will never get back
The moments wasted thinking
About how we were wronged
By such-and-such jerk

Our time is getting near
Sure, there is reason to fear
What is on the other side
Who knows our karma may
Dictate we get kicked
On the behind

But what can we do
About the inevitable
Thinking about this
Thing or the other
Will make us more regrettable

I've escaped death for so long
But the rules of time are
Much too strong

Buddha, Jesus, Allah, Krishna
All left the Earth
What makes you think you
Are any different
You neither have
More or less worth

Unlike a Doctor's
reception area
For the expansion
Of time you pray
Hence, that much longer
You can stay

 

Thank you so much!!!!
