Lusitania by Martin Askem

Life as you know it

as I drift away to the place I came from before, I ask my self the question. Will it be long before I am knocking on the door?

Will it be heaven or will it be hell, after my performance on the racetrack of life, it is hard to tell.

Some years of unkindness, some weeks of being meek.

A great deal other times of which Id rather not speak.

Full of regrets or a silver white horse, I loved them all? Well that is of course.

Eyes heavy legs unsteady, knock, knock it is time, are you ready?
Time to go to sleep or time to say farewell, for this only you, I and the Man can tell.

A bell rings from the distance, is it my alarm or is the bell, did I act right only the man will tell.

Timetable

Hurried passengers push past hoping to get a seat, sitting down on the 8:20 to Clapham Junction, oh what a treat.
Young man standing headphones on, the endless beat vibrating as the carriage rolls along.
On their way to work collars both white and blue, staring out of the window each wondering what the others do.

Arrive at the destination slightly late, never mind should I have queued earlier or is this just fate
