And a Better Tomorrow

by richard-alan

shines like fire in the front of my mind. With a hundred thousand memories piled beneath me a mountain of Past teachers of life their heavy price extracted paid in full with blood and tears thousands of nights spent in remembering and now, I hold another kind of degree and it pays another kind of wage.. The nice guy, he may finish last but he's been running a different race.

Notes

First written in 2005, this work represents the kind of optimism that follows, say, a category 5 hurricane flattening your town, and your home. And half your wits. I'll spare readers the details on that.
