The Man Who Always Says Tomorrow

The Man Who Always Says Tomorrow ''**** He was always busy, Serious and hardworking Just like you. He will get married to the love of his life Soon, just like you. The man whose dreams scared people away. Only a few knew him, just like you. He thought his dreams will soon give birth Just like you. He would build a mansion for his parents Just like you, not today though, Tomorrow is the perfect day to start, He would say, just like you. He will build a home for his wife and kids Just like you. Fantasies though, As he awaits the fate of morrow Just like you. He was gifted, Well gifted; Oh how his writings reduced Brave men to tears, just like you He would pen down a novel that would win him The Nobel Prize tomorrow, Just like you. But he would wait For that uncircumcised Day 'That an ovation will appease the skeleton Of his dreams,just like you. And when things went contrary, He would blame The gods for his ill fate, just like you. Because his morrow was never promised Just like you. He would sleep at night and dream Big dreams just like you. But hopefully unlike you, He never brought those dreams to actualization. The man who always says tomorrow believed in The essence of time, Just like you But hopefully unlike you, He went into a new day without a plan because He never failed to hope for a fairer morrow. But unfortunately for him That fair morrow never came. Godwin Henry Osaigbovo Pa Shakespeare et Obosa Brait SpeareEarthPoetry2019©
