Today

Today 
Today has so much promise 
Yet wasted time shall pass without a thought
And precious things will go unnoticed 
But time is one thing that cannot be bought
Today is filled with slavery 
Of all the things we want and slave away we shall
And time will fly on bye 
Without the promise of tomorrow to sell
Today will go unnoticed 
The little moments of loved ones and joy will be lost
Tomorrows never promised
Today we shall gain...but at what cost???
