Will Tomorrow Come

by Andrew Packard   Aug 9, 2013


"Will Tomorrow Come?"

I can't fall asleep anymore at night
My mind comes alive it beckons and calls
Relaxing don't help my urges in spite
Safety uncontained outside these false walls

Many things disturb setting of the home
Times are changing Oh, the zeitgeist we're in
Semi-trucks drive by they rumble and drone
Churn anxiety warning from within

What current event is forming out there?
Gun shots and fireworks shake my window
Too late in the night to feel the night air
Smoke detector lights an off and on glow

Movie from netflix doesn't help a bit
Senses on alert what's in the next room?
Victim screams creepy scenes aggravate it...
My head turns a jerk nothing I presume

But my fears sincere, valid and dire
Genuinely real not a spooky ghost
Not impossible theorists conspire
Since terrorists recently blew up the coast...

    I agree with Jane, the rhyme scheme is indeed flawless and still brings out the horrific truth of today's world. The imagery is perfect and awesome.

    I loved the rhyme scheme here, moreso it didn't seem forced. The play on emotions and the anxiety we are given from all the terrible things going on in the world today, that message was clear. Great write Andrew!
