Welcome to life

A sickness untreatable
Life creeps into the veins
a clammy hand gripping dead heart
pulse once, twice, then no more
Dragging breath from tired lung
air itself given weight
Limbs wrought, not grown
Minds spark an invitation
to ride the lightening
The grim carousel of thought
spinning to dischord
Welcome, says the sign
on the door of life
we hope you enjoy your stay.
