All's Well that Ends Well

tom2.jpg

The rush of the wind through his hair

The fact that there’s nothing in between him except air

The sight of the snow covered ground

If no one’s around will he make a sound?

Gravity leaves him short of breath

While his brain calculates the time he has left

Why bother for such an insignificant amount?

So small it’s impossible to count

It’s not enough time to make amends

For his long list of sins.

Does it justify him to forget his faith?

Surely the omnipotent God has already chosen his place

All that is left is for him to close his eyes

And kiss his sorry ass goodbye

As his murderer oversees it all

Paying great attention to his tremendous fall

Watching the impact with the ground below

A cold man accustomed to the blood flow

He reaches for his cellular phone

To call his boss who is safe
