i want to experience
the sensation of death
before the drugs
take effect
-all my life i have
taken the heat
leaped over the flames
as they licked my ass
-stood toe to toe
with my adversaries
and taken my blows
with impious dignity
i have tested the truths
as well as the myths
i have lived life
to its fullest extent
so why not be
the same way when
facing death-
before their drugs
take effect___
