What was the cause of death?

always the question

9 out of 10 times

it is Cancer

or a heart attack

but in reality

it is time itself

that catches up with us

we always think

we have many more years

but we can only go so long

before the sands of time

tip the balance of the scale

time has a way of

sneaking up on us

yet we always expect tomorrow

like it is guaranteed

but when the coin flips to tails

we lose the final call

call it a day

call it over

call it the end of

the game of life.
