Days of Our Lives

First day of our life The mother is ecstatic Finally her pains and burdens are over Ululations and congratulations are on Could even be the next president But father is in tears Camouflaged as honest joy Another big mouth to feed Second day of our life The priest is ecstatic Finally another person in line for tithe Could even be the next pope But mother is in tears Camouflaged as the touching by the word Village thugs and whores praying for you Another statistic of robbery without violence Third day of our life The teacher is ecstatic Finally someone to be the Aristotle to their Plato Could even be the next Einstein But priest is in tears Camouflaged as tears for absolution Lawyers and politicians consecrating you Another greedy scholar on the rise Fourth day of our life The couters are ecstatic Finally we love being in love Could even get married bells ringing But teacher is in tears Camouflaged as being proud of you Another dumb romantic who never learns Fifth day of our life We are very ecstatic Finally we made a new life Could it be the need to sustain bliss human mediocrity? But our sweethearts are in tears Camouflaged as being happy for you Another one escapes dying alone Sixth day of our life Grandchildren are ecstatic Finally someone else full of laughter and ambition Could it be their I-phone is the only new thing under the sun? But we are in tears Camouflaged as pain in our backs Another generation who don’t know how short life is The last day of my life The better angels inside my head are mourning Finally I am someone who lived in this world Could it be because I will be forgotten? But grandchild is happy Camouflaged as tears for losing you Just another man without legacy gone

AHA--I see that this is a repeat submission. So the third(and obviously the second) time never fail.
