it could be late one nite or the middle of the day bone-crushing accident or the pain of slow decay can the young life fight will the old one fade away the miracle of science saves them another day alive by machine better than faith hope & dreams alive by machine is this really life support when one cannot be alive probably not less than thirty years ago alive without a life me i'm better off dead outside the window the sounds of life go on but in this lonely place the rhythm is forlorn keep you beating breathing feeding never think or feel life is more than functions of the body and a prayer
