Days like these

Days like these.

 

It’s days like these when Rome would Fall.

Days like this, I don’t care at all.

Life just lingers, but death, that calls...

But it’s easier just to groan.

 

It’s days like this that grate the soul.

I’d let cities burn and empires fall.

When time stagnates, and slows to a crawl.

It’s quicker just to moan.

 

It’s days like these that take their toll.

Life means little, I've forgot my goals.

And it’s only Monday! Just to top it all.

They say in death we all atone.

I agree with poem. Some days are hard. We are behind before we had begin. beautiful photo gave life to the amazing poetry. Last line is open for discussion. In death. The door is closed and what we did in life is history. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Thanks Coyote, yeah I struggled putting my feelings into words in the last line. I wasn't sure whether we atone by all the 's**t' we face in life, or we can atone for all the negativity we have in life, in death. Very much up for discussion! thanks again
