Expiration Date...

Not certain as to what I herein mean,
Felt I guess the urge to flush my spleen,
Trying I suppose to keep my future to be most serene...


 


Ain’t a bottle of milk,


No date does have a strand of silk,


Not sure if I be of the right ilk,


As long as I don’t in the end of anybody, bilk…


 


Not ready to as yet pass on down the proverbial line,


Feeling, other than a touch of depression, quite fine,


Early morning it is, home from work I just got,


When my time does come hopefully they pickle me in brine…


 


Passed on, passed out, or just about,


Life passes by for this old lout,


Fairly sure my life will someday end,


Will just for now until then, as all should, chill out…

Chill Out, Man - and getting pickled in brine when the time comes sounds like an interesting way to go.

Chilling out is good, but fire in the belly is better.

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
