Another Day

I got up to face another day hoping that something positive would come my way but it was the same toxic energy that keeps roaming about the place spitting the heat of aggression into my face. Everyone one is doing “this thing” oh how it makes my heart grows dim, I was hoping that today would be different but it is the same old passion that keeps dancing in the street disrupting my heart beat. The cars kept strolling down the street honking their horn and throwing rice grain on the law and spreading the spirit of fertility over the land, there are some things that I just cannot understand. You can hear the screaming children beating the table and shouting above the morning tenor and the teacher with zero tolerance keep feeding the children with an artificial rhythm that kept shouting in the air. And so nature erupts in the town leading me to where destiny is bound, and the rain came pouring down. In seconds the gully was full and ponds and creeks were sealed and water start spiking in the street, and they rhythm gets louder. Everyone seems to catch on to the beat and those that could not smile suddenly start to grinning their teeth and the pretentious smile burst into laughter and soon the entire house starts to get warmer. Cold shoulder gets bolder and timid soul gets smarter and those that disagree suddenly agree and when the votes were tallied it was a grand jubilee. I have never seen anything so ecstatic in all my life, two sides that were at war joined together just to save one person’s life that was just more than a miraculous sacrifice. The cup kept running over and they keep pouring more money into it until there was no more room that it could fit and so the long-awaited miracle was finally here and we have all type of s story to share, the house passes the bill and I can finally keep still.
