Tomorrows a Short Day

At this very moment lost in life, predictability 
    Mind is a mess chaos reigns, steadfastness 
     Fighting with myself shut out, convertibility 
    Not through lack of confidence, faithlessness. 

   Honesty best policy was perfect, vulnerability 
     Perceived to be bureaucratic, crookedness 
    Looking into blind darkness is not, gullibility 
     Rather an inclination to, open-mindedness. 

    Fatalistic properties impress on, observability
  Eternal bliss unlikely basis, straightforwardness 
     My own admission incurred veto, ineligibility 
    Life’s knowledge diminishes to backwardness. 

       Into the abyss keeps tumbling, infallibility 
            Round and round remorselessness 
    I’m tired now must keep sleeping, insatiability 
   In the morning truth is coming, unpreparedness. 

    Executioner asks any last words, foreseeability 
      And then comes the answer, breathlessness.
