Two Minutes Until Death

Two minutes until death!

I shall then transcend into
a dreamless slumber
sans pain, sorrow
and joy.

I shall then break free
from this cage of mud
and shall snap
the shackles of attachment
like a wasp from the cobweb
coming unstuck.

Embrace me promptly
O fair maiden,
only in your arms
I shall find solace.

Rescue me promptly
O fair maiden,
from the ugly influence
of this devouring Mammon.

Come hither promptly
O fair maiden,
two minutes appear
to be just another lifetime -
the wait seems too long.
