Today is a Good Day

Only now do you see

Forget your last moment

Let the right-brain wither away

Do not grasp, even to nothing

Today is a good day

 

Yesterday you were raped

Your friends dissolved to bitterness

Though the victim you were reviled

Today is a good day

 

Can you gather your woes in hand

Feel the outline of your wrongs

If you can’t point to your misery

Today is a good day

 

Tomorrow you will die

Life will carelessly brush you aside

Your corpse will be molested

Today is a good day
