Prescribed Death

It will happen like this
The lack of oxygen will persist
Slow suffocation is most likely
But other dangers could end it dramatically


There is, of course, enlargement
Ribs have limited containment
Bigger, in this case, is not better
And bones do tend to shatter


That visual is not pleasant, it’s true
But it is our job to prepare you
Your situation is precarious, you should know
The problem goes far beyond how your blood should flow


The body’s electrical current is rarely thought about
But, in your case, it stands paramount
Your brain’s job is to evaluate and fix
But your heart serves it up some tricks


Don’t get me wrong, your brain is smart
But it's almost impossible to understand your heart
All are aware the main engine is in a trouble
But its many issues can be subtle


Think of your brain like Zeus
With your heart being his muse
When called to battle, Zeus rains down the power of his bolt
With that much electricity, the heart cannot cope


The impact is quick
The heart rate goes supersonic
The head gets light
Oxygen in the blood becomes slight


How to stop it, you may ask
Whatever you do, it must be fast
None on our list always work
And the problem will continue to lurk


This is how it will be
One of these three
That is the end for which you should plan
We know there is no other way it can


For when your cause of death is prescribed
Death by something else is the prize
