Self Destruct Poem by Eric Niehoff

Bad decisions are made...
Clock starts ticking

Hope begins to fade...
Clock still ticking

Love ones are ignored...
Clock still ticking

Even those you adored...
Clock still ticking

You look for others pity...
Clock still ticking

There’s none left in this city...
Clock still ticking

You continue without asking why...
Clock still ticking

Things would turn around if you try...
Clock still ticking

You ignore good advice...
Clock still ticking

Cling to anyone who is nice...
Clock still ticking

Upset with the consequences that flowed...
Clock stops ticking

And now....
You explode
