[hometext] => Third in An Hour's Work. Comments are always greatly appreciated
[bodytext] => The one enemy man cannot escape Once breathing is the same thought dying Each minute brings him closer to his fate Yet the heart beats fast, defiant in trying. Upwards growing, at first so strong, man stands. Magnificent in his ability. Yet grains fall, insistent in their demands. Ignoring illusions of liberty. The body now fails, shoulders stoop, joints creak The mind flits from place to place, memory Remembered of past days when being weak Was for other people, not ever we. Death lifts his hourglass aloft and call His hand reaches out as that last grain falls.
