"Today is not my lucky day."
The convicted man wanted to say
But ready or not
He died distraught
And took his secret to the grave.

"Today is not my lucky day."
The convicted man's wife wanted to say
She knew who the killer was
But she was too afraid to say because
Her promise to him she'd not she gave.

"Today is not my lucky day."
The guilty policeman wanted to say
He knew that the man was not the one
Even though he was caught holding the gun
He knew the man he was trying to save.

"Today is not my lucky day."
The twin of the convict wanted to say
As his brother died instead of him
So he went to the police and turned himself in
And though he felt ashamed, he also felt brave.

"Today is not my lucky day."
The mother of the brothers wanted to say
As he buried her sons
And when she was done
She let herself drown in the ocean waves.

That day was not a lucky day
Which everyone kept wanting to say
Instead they hid these feelings
And dealt with life's dealings
And if they hadn't who know who could have been saved.
