Another Day
I'mma live another day,
In defiance of the one who will die that day.
Hammer there
Hammer here
In my hand,
My mind like a roving band
Of renegades
Committing raids
Across the lands
At my own bloody hands.
Hammer there in your face,
Putting you in your place,
A scene so beautiful,
So hateful,
Not for what you are,
But who you are,
You hurt me,
Hurt my mind,
And so now I find
Peace of mind,
In the pieces of your mind,
Left in this mortal plane
As you have been left slain.
In defiance of the one who will die that day.

Not for what you are,
But who you are,

Hurt my mind,
And so now I find
Peace of mind,
In the pieces of your mind,
Left in this mortal plane
As you have been left slain.

Major deja vu here. Seems I read this very poem years ago, but of course I didn’t. I don’t remember the “imma” in the first line which would’ve caught my attention. Good read. I turn 78 in a couple of months, still reaching out for the brass ring on Life’s merry-go-round.
