Beastly Day
Beastly Day
A beastly day, begins with lonely dawn
Of a smile and inner light completely shorn
Where could one hide from a truly beastly day
When in your flesh it’s teeth will stay
Merciless and persistant be his lust
To thrust your hopes and spirit in the dust
Clenched claw tugs on a heart ever tight
Nervous belly, leaves you in a fright
Tedious and oblong moves the onslaught
Every hour wrong, every hour faught
Prayer to be no more the prey
Laying bare under a heavy beastly day
Surely there must be an end
A message to tomorrow we shall send
Bring with you a new sun ray
And cast to dusk this bad day.
