Today is not Bad

The cloud passes before me
and i choke to take a breath
industrial grey
paints the sky away
but today is not bad

and those shining stars
once myriads and millions more
have faded now to select few
and dimer yet except for the one
but today is not bad

Today we fight and struggle
against ourselves and each other
and argue over the littlest things
all while church bells ring
but today is not bad

today the world speaks
and harbors the weak
and pushes to new frontiers
we are kind, gentle, unaustere
today is not bad
