'Tis a sad life we live
when out friends no longer care.
'Tis like a heady poison
we take with our evening fare.

Sip by sip we drink it
till gone is every drop.
Our lives ending slowly
with the ticking of the clock.

The clouds rol by
then thunder claps
the lightning creases the sky.
And we watch the splendor
as we slowly die.

When discovered on the morrow
there'll be no gasp of pain.
No expression of sorrow-
Only a spattering of rain.
