Tomorrow Is Dead

Tomorrow is dead We all go to bed at night Hoping the alarm hits a wake up call Or the cock crows as the day dawns We bid our love ones goodnight And they reply with a charming smile If you are like me you won't miss your night meditation Or you probably want to have an evaluation of how the day went Plan for the next day's event Too tired to do all that The sleep is heavy in your eyes That you couldn't even have your bath You had a stressful day at work So hectic that you almost passed out Good you have a source of livelihood Atleast you are not a nuisance in the neighbourhood Tomorrow never came! Tomorrow never came! Hope its not a game of chess Yesterday is gone Today is here The thunder grumbled The flower nodded The snow flakes danced When will it be tomorrow? Its a matter of time Will I sleep and never wake up? Am I promised tomorrow? No never, why? Not me , I don't like this My kids, my job, my loved ones, my everything But wait a minute what if tomorrow doesn't come? Never will anyone pray not to see a new day The brightness and light of a new dawn But what if tommorow dies? Those that are gone never bargained for a return They left with tears in the eyes of thier love ones Not in a bit to instill fear in you, but to consciously remind you that tomorrow could be dead. Live right Have a good heart LIVE TODAY AS THOUGH IT'S THE LAST DAY AND LAST BREATH YOU WOULD EVER HAVE.
