Analysis of As Tomorrow Calls

Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)



As Day breaks and night falls
Visions of every day’s life go dark.

Bad news spins the roulette wheel of life.
Leaving us dizzy, unsettled, confused.

Trying to make sense of it all. As fate calls…
We go spiraling headlong into the vortex.

With cries of humanity’s weeping, ever
increasing. Where will it all go?

If… Love,
falls
