Tomorrow the Sun Shineth!

"...when power corrupts, poetry cleanses." --John F. Kennedy A frat asked, will you ever forgive her? Come! The house has a toast for you tonight! Now forget—this is not the way you were! Let’s walk frat, tomorrow will be alright! Let her go and have her own way each day; Cleanse the taint with an aromatic bath Let done be done forever—God molds the clay; Come! Stand with us—let Him show you the path. When entreated with her loveliest lies Spread your wings to the sky with open ears; Brittle vows and fragile oaths always die Shallow days, months, years they too disappear. Upon the rising sun—look to the East, A royal feast, my frat—that’s the least! ~~~~~~~~~~~*******~~~~~~~~~~~ © Joseph, October 22, 2008 © All Rights Reserved ~~~~~~~~~~~*******~~~~~~~~~~~ Joseph S.
