hungry fiends wait patiently, my soul will soon be loosedand they have come, as fairly known, to claim their righteous roostno recompense can i chose now, for me it is too latebut i try to warn all my kind, witness my tragic fatei think i thought i was above, no closure would they seekthough all i had done was in fun, and called them at my peakso how much then can they have claimed, so little have they donebut souls cannot be broke in two, they live and die as onei had a wife for thirteen years and treated her quite welldoes that account for something, or must i still go to Hell?i always payed my taxes, and put my kids through schoolso why is it that i must be one more of Satans foolsi thought God would forgive me, and rinse my spirit cleanbut this is strictly buisness as i see the dark eyes gleenno one will ever mourn me, in fact some won't say goodbyeso i suppose i'm ready now, come on, it's time to dieNo folks, I haven't actually sold my soul. I'm not THAT good! Written August 30th, 2001 © on Aug 30 2001 10:52 AM PST, DeTavis   0 • 10
