Listen to poem:

Still Tomorrow the Sun Will Rise

a few missing pieces ones we may never find the beast stares down at us just waiting to pounce three bloodied blind eyes can't see the pink butterflies psychedelic lies flow down stairs colourless swirls checker board squares check where's your mate blind in life blind in death who will save us save us save us from us students with razor blades cut their arms in school no one questions their scars it takes a village to raise a child only women carry the bleeding lily have to answer to strange twisted clocks strum a lonely shape on strings that bite play till the tips break until the skin shows bone who will save them save them save them from us wounded hands won't speak to me maybe people just die no mention of our sins grey clouds loom over earth where is the man who parted the waters the large belly the long beard where is the one whose image is ours is it true seek and you shall find who will save us save us save us from us Sept. 20 2016 MY

Hello Maurice. The words are very expressive with strength and inspiration especially the ending. This is an entry to be read out loud. Honestly. May the sun always rise for one and all for every reason. Well done entirely.

This takes many readings, so as not to miss the impact, and the meaning....and each time I hear and read one more amazingly metaphoric injustice, and truth. You write brilliantly, Armand, and your praise on my own poetry is an honor. I thank you :)
