Heartless Cough

Under the burning lights

Speechless you stand on stage

Nothing left of your life

That cold chilling cough

Echoes from the crowd

Permeates the air

You know what that cough means

That hedonistic sound in your head

The meaning of your life is gone

You're on stage with nothing left

In old age you run out of things to say

Nothing to please the panel of viewers

The panel decides your death time

Some go young, and some go old

Others just don't seem to die

Nevertheless

That cold heartless cough

Will come and get you soon
