ANOTHER DAY


Another Sinner, A Tainted Saint
A Dubious Winner Without Restraint
Another Reason, Another Plaint
A Tricky Adversary To Clash Against

Another Battle, Another Brawl
Another Back Against The Wall
Another Body, Another Pall
A Modest Step, A Mighty Fall

Another Predicament, Another Doubt
Another Setback, Another Rout
A Small Accord, A Big Fallout
Another Setback To Think About

And Lo Behold, Another Day
Another Demon For You To Slay
Nobody Cares About Yesterday
Another Chance...Go Find A Way!

  8. This is profound and what stayed with me is this - Another Demon For You To Slay, Nobody Cares About Yesterday. Seems we are all moving ahead without meaning and no one is questioning the deeds that are done!
