PLODDING ALONG
Another day over, another day gone
With nothing to show for and nothing else done.
No closer to winning or leaving the maze.
Another brief moment that’s lost in the haze.
So stuck in today, never pausing to think
Tomorrow’s another today on the brink.
The future’s erasing itself through the now.
We must find a way to slow it somehow.
Before we lose all our tomorrows.
I like that you created your poem from a line in the song – ‘ghost lives’. Your words ring true! Love this line: ‘Tomorrow’s another today on the brink.’
