I suppose I'm one of life's losers

Missed out on joys and content

Mourned other folks's milestones

Never learned what love meant

 

How to encounter consolation or

Stomach others's enjoyable sins?

The answer lies up in the clouds

Where brute eternity always wins

 

Winners cant take it with them

Imagine leaving behind that cash

Lovers weeping at the bedside

Those doomed teeth must gnash!

 

Dying while skint and friendless

Though not to be recommended

Means checking out with a smile

Knowing your agony has ended

 

As a kid I had bad dreams about

Eternity and the scale it entails

After the nightmare life I've had

Bring on the day my ship sails
