- What Tomorrow Needs- by Keaton Foster

*Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5* *Vignette5*

What tomorrow needs
Is not today
Yet a lifetime away
Far beyond the grave
Beyond all possible change
In a distant place that we
You and I could never
Hope to escape
In a prison devoid of skin
Confined to a castle founded in sin
With Iron gates standing tall
And walls that reach to the sky
Who built it is not clear
Each stone
Was placed with great care
Each adornment
Was crafted with considerable detail
All resemblance to those inside
Can be inferred
Who resides inside
Will be a matter of fact
All inside will know each other well
Each dark truth and circumstance
Will be spelled out across their chest
Unable to conceal
Unable to wear garments
All will be naked
All will be absolute
In such a place as the one faced
What tomorrow needs will not be
Because there will be no tomorrow
Only now in a place where
Time does not truly exist
Meaning holds no precedence
Life is a quickly fading memory
For those who are no longer alive
It is something else for those
Who have always been dead
They will be home
Beyond skin and bones
In a castle of a kingdom with no king
In a prison where there are no guards
Just each other to keep
Just each other to judge
Look what we have all done
Look what we have all become
Whisperings, "pay the price as I do!"
Will be heard loud and clear
Crooked fingers will be pointed in jest
No one will laugh
But all will certainly cry
A tear for themselves
And a river for those
That they have forever left behind
What tomorrow needs
Is not today
It will never be
Or so I dare scream
I could be wrong
Or I could be right
Only death, both yours and mine
Will confirm such a plight…
