"Descending-"

Complete the tasks now,
Before all is lost.
Overwhelmed, you are?
Tis part of the cost.

Rushing to the end,
The one not in sight.
A cliff, you see.
Tragedy-no flight.

To fall is cliché,
Let’s call it descending.
A fun activity while,
Your payments are pending.

Manipulate survival,
Until it doesn’t exist.
For it longs to kill,
And you’re on the list.
