Day after Day

Day after day, we till the same fields

Yearning for a different tomorrow, we eat the same meals

Unable to bear the task, we run from our fears

Powerless and weak, we hide from mirrors

When will we understand there's no use in tears

Drowning in self pity, porn and beers

All for naught

All such pity

Even the learned of old knew

Within one's will is strength

If ignored this ancient echoes

All left in hands in wasted years

This abyss of thirst  Blinds my own dreams Under a lone oak tree No shade for me it seems Dear thin mountain air,  Please cool my sweat As I close my eyes I place a final bet When it's all at the end I will have my laugh Family, foe or friend Will have to understand.
