The Blink (edited earlier post)

When does the end begin?
A child is born,
The blink of an eye
Taken at a ripe old age
The end is with you
From the start.

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
original: "When does the end begin? You'll never win, the end is with you from the start"

LIFE ISN'T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS
IT'S ABOUT LEARNING HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN.

Born to die - make the most of life while we have it, cos it goes in the blink of an eye.

Profound and thought provoking.

Eddie,

I really liked this piece. It reminded me of a poem by China Blue called 'Shooting Star' which gave the thought that we are dying from the minute we are born...your piece also gave me that thought:

I guess that outlook is a little depressing, but it is true.

Thanks for sharing this one my friend,

HS
