His Last Day Poem by Fate McFate

His Last Day

Rating: 5.0


They all surround him life flies on a carcass
Contemplating about his end of days
He struggles to grasp little air
To see more days.

Maybe they had had enough of him
I think he owed them nothing
Not even gratitude
For them to observe his last breath.

A glass of milk would have helped maybe
But all their money was for the same water
That he took to lie like a specimen
Or it's all their journey; and they see their own end of race.

I can't help either
Not that he owes me nothing
Or... Am just like them
Watching an end of a race

An emotional write- death doing its routine and people doing theirs. Thanks, Dear Poet.

it was so sad to see how his 'friends' watched him die and did not help.
