Today will be the day,
Everything comes this way.

Surging through these veins,
A proactive antidote to pain.

Arisen with fresh eyes,
Loosened yesterday’s ties.

The face of change is smiling,
Self value is no longer compromising.

Shaken off the lethargic slime,
Been rescheduled to prime time.

Lost the identity of a schlep,
Bounce rediscovered in the step.

Self-given a new meaning,
Opportunities are teeming.

No longer engulfed in sorrow,
Tomorrow is a new tomorrow.

Wake up, stay up, sleep...

Wake up, stay up, repeat...

Wake up, stay up, weep...

Wake up, stay up, repeat...

Wake up, stay up, reap...

Wake up, stay up, repeat...

Wake up, stay up, sleep...

Wake up, stay up, repeat...

Wake up, stay up, weep...

Wake up, stay up, repeat...

Wake up, stay up, reap...

Oops! That last cut slipped too deep...

That last time that they weep...

That last time they decided to reap...

That last sleep that they can never repeat...

Another cog sanctioned to help turn the capitalist cycle,
Trapped! Forever in this self perpetuating mechanism.

Another body sentenced to break itself to help preserve the lifestyle of the more fortunate,
In the vein hope that one day they can too enjoy some of life’s freedoms.

Another vote not loud enough to speak of their personal indifferences,
But enough to add a crumb to that year’s politician’s half-baked ideas.

Another soul destined to live a life they hadn’t intended,
Living to work, rather than living to live.
