Analysis of Tomorrow Is Today
There is no time, reason or rhyme
to toss your life away.
Get off your duff and do some stuff.
Tomorrow is today.
There is no pain, treason or gain
worth the wasting away.
Get up to shout and let it out.
Tomorrow is today.
There is no date, season or slate
to panic with dismay.
Get to the point and then anoint.
Tomorrow is today.
There is no might, lesion or site
for becoming blasT.
Get on your mark and run the park.
Tomorrow is today.
There is no place, wizen or grace
that never will betray.
Get out of town and halt the frown.
Tomorrow is today.
