Tomorrow is Beautiful

Post by saw » July 4th, 2023, 9:59 am

Hallelujah
I am the king
of procrastination
I worked my whole life
to get here

I've got a bullshit creed
to protect me
a religious tomb in my brain
every passage created by me
I know the neural playbook

like the back of my frontal lobe.
what law says I have to do it now
is there a moral imperative
or am I a free man
like my democracy claims

is there a universal truth here
to quote like an angry professor
slapping me with his pointer
instead of the virtual blackboard...Stop !
your societal insistence

I'll do it tomorrow
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

Some time ago I began compiling a list of "Roy-isms" (we old farts can do that) - one appropriate to your poem goes "The work will always be there tomorrow - but Today won't."

"Falsehood flies, the Truth comes limping after it." - Jonathan Swift, ca. 1710
