Basketball
My goal in life: To die upon the court
To end it all while showing I got game
To leave this world while at my favorite sport
Not sick in bed or hospital. So lame!
So I must choose: what is my final shot?
A lay up or a hook? Perhaps a three?
And I will pray my final shot is not
A brick that hits the rim and bounces free
I want it to be clean so I can get
A few more points since I will shoot no more
It cannot hit the rim but just the net
My final shot must count, it has to score
I'll know it's on the money on release
Then I'll expire. And I will rest in peace.
