sure enough

 
as sure as the
wren brings a  
song of death  
 
as sure as we  
foolishly believe  
that time is  
something  
owed to us
 
as sure as we  
will all step in
a pile of dog
crap at least
once in our
lives
 
as sure as the
noose tightens
around the  
prisoners neck
as gravity laughs  
 
as sure as the
dammed beg
for water in the
eternal summers
of hell
 
as sure as your  
footsteps fading
from my souls
memory  
 
as sure as we  
kill time
 
time will kill  
us all
