As the bright light rises from the eastward yonder
Your eyes are still closed
Not quite ready to open
As they wait for the dawn of morning to come
The light makes it way to the apex of the sky
And you are now flailing in pain
As you make the motion to get out of bed
The day is young
But your body feels like it is beyond its years
The groginess subsides as you flutter your eyes
You awake fully and embrace the light of day
As you get ready and get on your way
To the tedious repetition of having to be alive
And continuously feed your blood to the powers that be
The day is no yours yet
From 9-5 is your daily sacrifice
The sun above has had its own routine to fill
Moving from the waters of the east
Shifting discreetly while shifting your dark outer shell
Until it hits the gateway to the west
Where by now
You are getting ready to get your rest
The sun repels down below the edge of the world
And you are now sitting at home
Pondering over things you tell yourself in your head
You dream constantly of getting to the top
But life is a burden which topples over your hope
The light has made its perimeter rounds
And now you are getting ready to close shop for the day
Off to something beyond reality
Where there is light shining more brightly
Than the sun will ever shine
