Baton of the Past
Do not dwell in your past Where the fattened maggots wallow in your rotten regrets Where the high ocean of opportunities lost, kiss the very lips of the sky There, they are dying dreams helpless hopes and murdered music that made your heart once merry and sweetened your soul to sing along till that very song was stolen from you I tell you something...
