The Island Called Tomorrow

The Island Called Tomorrow

I’m a wayfarer, sailing on angry seas;
in search of a future tomorrow;
my obsession has become a disease;
my journeys brought only sorrow.

I left, behind me, a most peaceful shore;
an island, known as today;

The Impact Of Lies

The Impact Of Lies

Is there ever a good reason to tell a lie;
even though the truth is known?
