Final Bell
Ding dong, ding dong
The bell shall toll for me
Ding dong, ding dong
The echo sounds with equal strength
Twice I face the toll
It says I must pay it's price
A heart black as coal
I pushed my way, climbed up high
A mountain of my lesser
The hurt for my own right to gains
Become the fancy dresser
Ding goes the bell inside my head
Try to silence with my wealth
Dong goes the echo to call me back
Rushing to failing health
Ding dong of death
All are set free
Ding dong, ding dong

I am an unpublished poet and have been writing for the past two years. I have many poems but am hesitant to share online but gladly share in person. I still write because of all those that have enjoyed reading my writing.
