WHAT ABOUT TOMORROW

YESTERDAY LEFT ME WITH MIXED FEELINGS.
HAPPY THOUGHTS DID NOT LINGER,
A KISS OR A HUG, I CANNOT REMEMBER, 
BUT NEITHER DID CALAMITY INVADED MY SPACE
I GUESS ALL AND ALL, 
I HAD A PLEASANT YESTERDAY.

TODAY, IN THE CIRCLE OF LIFE I CONTINUE
SEEKING A PATH OUT OF MY MUNDANE ROUTINE 
HOPING FOR SOMETHING EXTRAVAGANT.
LIKE A TWIST OR TURN OF FAITH, 
OR MAYBE SOMETHING IN BETWEEN.

SO FROM MY MEGER EARNINGS I SPLURGE,
AND BOUGHT A TWO DOLLAR LOTTERY, 
WHO KNOWS WHAT TOMORROW HOLDS FOR ME 
JUST A POOR MAN WITH TWO DOLLARS AND A DREAM 
WISHING HIS WAY OUT OF UNPAID BILLS 
AND LIFES CIRCLE OF POVERTY.
