Expiry Date Poem by Martin Greyford

Expiry Date

Rating: 2.0


I am in a lonely cage witnessing
My days slowly reaching their expiry date.
How it haunts me knowing that soon
I will depart from this earth joining the dead.
Being recognised as dead by the living.

Ah, my blood begins to boil
My heart throws its punches at my chest,
Knees start to shake
While the rest of my body becomes paralysed.

I think without coming to a conclusion
Nor having a solution and answers,
To the questions stuch inside my brain.
I feel like I am inside a cage
Waiting on the line for death to deal with me.

The bad news is that
I don't know my number so
I guess this gonna be a surprise.

Do you know your number?

At last composure makes me gain my strength.
Legs start to walk
Cause the good news is that
I will live eternally
If I live by the commandments of God.
Which is the solution and answer to the
Questions in my brain.

Solution found.
The question is,
Do you follow His commandments?
