A Mad Rush to the End opus 1
| 8 September 2018 1200 Hours | | Mortality, Behavior |
As we near the end, many grasp time and try--
Some just give up and grow obese.
Some find younger partners to maintain an illusion of youth.
Some spend their last to maintain satisfaction.
Some reach out to the family they always ignored.
Some play golf with a vengeance and die of a heat stroke.
Some lament for what they have not yet accomplished.
Some pursue the former arts of their youth.
Some utter truths to pass on to the next generation.
And a few work to the end to leave a positive legacy.
But, certainly, a mad eventual rush to the end for us all.
