Why can't they wait...

I was young

and I was bold

In the summer

or in bitter cold

Some were friends

but  some were foes

some were delighted

but some had woes

Some were strangers

untouched and unknown

some were there

to see me grow

They wanted me

to climb and to propel

fly into the sky

to prosper and excel

some always wished

for me to drop

for them, if I don’t fit

I must loose

If I do not fulfill

their scheme of design

if I do not relent

to their wish and conscience

they always wished

for me to fall

as if, I will not then,

they will fall

and I did fall

for my fate was bad

it turned me down

at a time which i never had

yes I did fall

when I was deceived

yes I did fall

when I failed to achieve

but it was a fall

and not the death

the life was there

lingering to a thread

the life was there

in my flesh and bone

yes life was there

in parts and in pain

like those vultures

desperate to devour

it doest matter

if I were one of their own

the moment was ripe

atleast they felt so

i can still remember

seeing their faces glow

when they flew down

with speed and glide

when they flew down

with great appetite

their beaks were sharp

hooked and strong

they tore away my flesh

with all their might

parting my meat

from my bone

it gave them cheer

and not the shiver

can't they see I was still alive

the body they scavenged

was not a corpse yet

but just gave up the fight

can't they wait

for my life to leave

can't they wait

for my soul to be free

can't they wait

for my skin to be cold

can't they wait

for I say to myself  “don’t hold”

can't they wait

for my heart beat to subside

can't they wait

for my pulse reside

can't they wait

for my hopes to sink

can't they wait

for my eyes cease to blinks

can't they wait

for my breath to stop

can't they wait

for my everything to drop

can't they wait

why can't they

just wait
