There Is No Tomorrow

In this uncertain world we live in today,
Nothing seems secure, and it changes day to day.
The prospects for world peace
Moves farther out of sight,
The thing that we are sure of
Are that people will always fight.
I now understand completely
Why tomorrow never comes
How can we find tomorrow
If we kill each other with guns.
