The Throughts Of A Dying Man




I reach out for a helping hand but only find mine to hold
This must to the punishment for the lies I've told
I have danced with both side but rather remain on the tracks
For death stares me in the face and there is no turning back
The time I once had haves past me by
I no longer have time to wait and die

I shed no tear that the end is near
But smile at the life I have lived
I regret nothing I done and everything I did
Yet they are the same, my regret I can no longer change

I have destroyed more lives than i have saved
And remember them all to well
These are the thoughts of a dying man
That beads you all farewell

I'm not a rich man and never will be not because it's out of reach but because I hate money and greedy people... Everything I have ever have or will have I will end up giving away. "And call a man a fool, If for wealth he doesn't strive? Well then, Mr, you're a better man than I," more…
