Running Out Of Time

Running Out Of Time 





Tick, tock, tick, tock, 
Time is running out 
Its a race against the clock 
Tick...Tock

Tick, tock, tick, tock, 
Blood is been filtered, 
Dialysis still leaves me feeling crock, 
Tick...... tock 

Tick, tock, tick, tock,
Lungs scream for air, 
Scarred, ruined, unable to repair. 
Tick......... tock 


Tick,  tock, tick tock,
Heart is slowly beating, 
Until its final stop, 
Tick.............. ........Tock 

Tick ,tock ,tick, tock,
People can be saved ,
The situation is grave, 
Tick... tock 

Tick ,tock, tick, tock
Time is running out, 
Its a race against the clock, 
Tick, tock ,tick,tock 

Tick, tock, tick, tock ,
Tick ,tock
Tick,
Tock,

   STOP !

CLEAN ME !



CLEAN ME !!

CLEAN ME, CLEAN ME !
My body screams
From the inside out 
With those damn machines 
Body screaming, shouting out, 
Organ failing that's not in doubt 
Skin itchy and lizard like. 
Body exhausted threatening to strike, 
CLEAN ME, CLEAN ME !
My body screams

Yet I have a daily fill of capsuled toxins, 
Pills popping constantly,needles stinging like scorpions 
Legs shaky on any incline 
Hook me up now, like Frankenstein! 
I finally admit I'm in defeat 
CLEAN ME, CLEAN ME !
While I'm still on my feet, 

 CLEAN ME, CLEAN ME !
My body screams !

A Chance At Life 

I sat with tubes of red coming in and out of veins 
A ritual to endure, if in life I was to remain,
A life of weakness and lethargy,
Conversing with others almost like a zombie.
Thanking god for advances in technology 
Forget-me-not - Myosotis sylvatica
He lay only alive because of machines, 
Bloods and tissues positively  matched and screened.
One family mourns, cries and grieves,
One family smiles relieved at the reprieve. 
Thanking god for advances in technology
Forget-me-not - Myosotis sylvatica
The donor may be gone from earthly plains 
Thou he and his brave family have allowed me to remain
For both families he is in our hearts 
He has let my life happily restart
Thank god for his  ideology 
Forget-me-not - Myosotis sylvatica
Thank You !
