the movie of my life is not yet done
my lines are mostly silent, acts are wrong
I best rewrite it while there still is sun
this manuscript of mine, it weighs a ton
an autobiographical, so long,
the movie of my life is not yet done
there is a golden standard under Sun
yet this old tired script is far from strong
I best rewrite it while there still is sun
the act of writing life is never fun
it ends one day with a celestial gong
the movie of my life is not yet done
when darkness falls as curtains I'll be done
can no more check how it's coming along
I best rewrite it while there still is sun
when acts of mine are righted, I'll have won
my lines must have so earnestly been sung
the movie of my life is not yet done
I best rewrite it while there still is sun
(C)2008, Christos Rigakos
