AM LOOKING AT THE FUTURE

My ancestors may have faced it rough,
And my hope of prosperity may have been shadowed
My great grand may have failed
But got nothing about tomorrow
I don’t need to know why they failed
Because that was their time
But me am looking at the future.

I may fail today
People may call me all names
To refer to a failure
But am not concerned
Because
Am looking at the future
My future is bright.

My ancestors’ future differs
From my future
They may have failed
But for me
I won’t fail
Am looking at the future.
