No Matter How Long

Ofuonyebi 'Dinobi

-no matter how long
-or high a man lasts
-the wow and shame of death
-knows no age
-it breathes down to every soul
-all the same
-it stares deep
-to know that not how long
-but how well
-to whichever is acceptable
-to you and me
-in this strange wheel of life..
