The Thief Of Tomorrows

 II

He comes softly,
Not with chains or knives,
But with whispers that say “later.”
He steals not gold,
But the glitter of done things.
Dreams left sleeping,

He wears no mask,
For he looks like comfort,
Feels like rest,
And calls himself mercy.
But when the clock wakes,
He’s gone and so is your moment.

IV Have you ever felt like a living-dead, or a zombie? Having no clues but to destroy. Have you ever felt like a human with the precision of a machine? Like a robot! All for the satisfaction and purpose of another man. V You don't have to feel like an old wine in a new bottle, Like all doors are closed, knowing not one leads to the perfect road. Your very nature is bliss, like a lightening bolt your heart will glow. VI After a hurricane comes a rainbow, When your time is set yo...
