Deadline

A hundred cups of coffee

Please. Need it now

I cannot sleep, cannot stop -

I have to move on

Sip by sip and I’m awake

I am strong

I cannot waste no more time -

All hours are gone

'Cause the deadline is near

And its red light won't disappear

All my life

I’ve tried to be on time

Tried to be good and wise

To fit all deadlines

Hurry, hurry!

Worked so hard, so hard

That I forgot a daylight

My only sun

Shines at my work

At this time there’s no food

On my plate -

An empty space

I’m alive on what I do
