Time ticking away menacingly
We've not long left to live now
Before we're swept from this life
Our lives, memories and future in tow
In these last few hours of existence
I pledge to locate all those
Whom I have offended, and apologize.
I won't feel ashamed when facing Death Row.
But let's evacuate the seriousness -
I want to stuff myself with delicacies!
Have my first taste of sweet wine!
Sit down with my friends and confess secrecies!
For what is life if you don't live
To the most possible maximum, for me?
Nothingness, that's exactly what it is!
So in my final hours, I shall live truly.

Haha, this is sucky to the max. But I suppose it's ALRIGHT 'cause I had the nerve to enter it in a contest.

oh do any of us really know what we would do with those last few hors if we really knew they were there? I think I would have so much that I hadn’t done with my life that I wouldn’t know where to start trying to catch up. It’s a scary thought.
I enjoyed reading and it has made me think….. maybe I should start catching up right now before those last few hours arrive.
