"Flat Liner"   4 - 6 - 02



raining the pain

showering the hate

dousing the love

covering the light above



ripping and tearing

twisting and gripping

trying for the light

before the come of night



darkness enveloping

hopelessness encrouching

death begins its lurk

as life ends its jerk



hopeless, lost

such a high cost

to try and to fail

against the rain and hail



now lifeless and still

without vigor or a light

rigor mortis instills

as the line sets with the night....
