PREPARED2DYE2DAYN02MRW

Let me die prepared

Like a Dark Souls player

My affairs taken care of

Hair combed and oiled

Shoes a good clean pair

Going up that final stair

Void of potential recommencement

I stumble upon the threshold 

And never become a legend

In my Lemony Snicket phase 

Endless series of unfortunate days

Olympiad Irish lads going home with more gold

And chains than Trinidad James at his wake

Trying to take with him what cannot be taken

Coins on eyes in the ancient manner

Cerecloth same colour as Manna

Leadbelly how guests say sorry mama

On telly, see the West enter the doldrums

Hyperinflation bankrupt the nation 

No coppers, no coffers 

Just coffins, corpse boxes 

A mystery what happened, like chess boxing

I’m out to find out, asking questions in the night Charles Bronson 

Death wish asking around Limerick who’s doing the stabbings

From the land of haven’t 

They ran a show, found no talent

When government are in session 

The guards outside carry weapons

And the licence to kill, alleged 

They can’t kill a legend 

But they killed hope, kids mad on dope 

Mad out, strung out on the session 

Sleeping on the back steps behind the Weston

Banks in recession, currency unsteady 

Attention deficit, idiocy a weapon 

Empty shelves not replenishing 

End to the land of plenty 

Twenty twenty four, end of the tour.
