3827. SPENDTHRIFT

SPENDTHRIFT
'I am the one, I am the guy:
I bought the earth, I bought 
the sky. I purchased my
pleasures, I bought food
and wine, great beasts and
beautiful women. I bought
homes and cars and all to 
my own delight. I never 
wanted, I bought all things.
Now, the open maw of
an empty grave stares
back at me. I bought
that too; I can't be
saved. It must be
mine. Say now,
can I buy more
time?'
