__Tomorrow is always so dark__ — I don’t have the eyes to see it, but I’ve got the faith to believe in it. And if dreams never die… do we still dream after death? And do you still dream with open eyes — or do they close by the end of the night? We dream in colour in a black-and-white world. But what’s colour worth when we judge by shade, _by place, by blood_? Even their own goes against their own for the turf they hold onto of the authority they own. __My thoughts__ —    Black as summer storms over my mind. Winter is coming, and all we want is to stay warm by standing with our kind. And I hear those churchgoers tell the best lies — where are they going, if they say they carry His light? Leading us all into a “tomorrow,” but is just a place made for the dark… __Tomorrow is always so dark...__ and somehow, still the thing we all hope to find… but it’s also a place we use as a place to hide.

Where & What Tomorrow Hides
Olga the ostrich and Cedric the lamb Naive innocence and Head in the sand Evil Never seen, never heard and never spoken Interests unquestioned Illusions unbroken Tolerate Dont discriminate "beware theorising" The warnings were heeded Resisted surmising Cedric herded to slaughter Olga safe in her cage Medicine in the water That will mute the outrage Cedric sees what's ahead now Olga's cage welded closed Slave incumbant got here how? That's just life, I suppose.

Olga and Cedric
Girl in black masquerade gown with books balanced on head One high-heeled foot on drum The other A laceless sneaker Long-stemmed glass of wine in right hand Slim bottle of Summum ***** in left Background dissonance Vintage grey vehicle with red interior PYT seated in the back Tatted up bad boy in front seat Bearded man in tailored blue suit Hand draped over driver's seat door Red carpet rolled out to the entrance of a dive bar that leads into a mansion Eyes Wide Shut
