Best Better Tomorrow Poems


A Better Tomorrow
Neighborhoods burned. Riots laid them to waste
The world is tense with racial dissension
Judgement by color leaves an acrid taste
But God offers hope through intervention

He created us with skin, dark and fair
No one has the right to question His plan
We should ask for tolerance through prayer;
and...

Skies star-crossed over treacherous weather
Divided voices splintered in turmoil
Hope dissolved along with burning heather
across four score and twenty summers’ soil
Yet, I have seen redemption in the street
Those in hunger offer their meager bread
Greenery brought to deserts of concrete
Contentions cooled by kinder words, instead
Hearts pump in...

From my balcony, I watch children play;
their color blindness encourages me.
They do not let skin shades stand in their way;
playing games together for all to see.

I hear laughter with no sarcastic sting;
there are no racial slurs aimed to degrade.
As I observe these fledgling birds take...

Goodness
Doing right things
Opportunity knocks
Sometimes when we least expect it
For one’s better angels
Allowing ways
To shine.

Virtue
A welcome trait
For high-minded living
Example for those we know who
Disregard their morals
Skirt the edges
Often.

Ethics
Will cultivate
An exemplary life
Of lasting proper behaviors
If conscientiously
Better living
Applied.

Conduct
Measuring our
Commitment fully to
A better world for tomorrow
And high-mindedness for
More love,...

A Better Tomorrow
I envision a world 
free of war, where
everybody gets along.

Guns are extinct,
prejudice doesn't 
exist.

Poverty finds the cure
through the strength in 
unity.

Hunger is feed
with global intervene.

A peaceful world
united in love, as
God watches over 
us...

An the devil's army 
falls to all the faith 
in our hearts.

As we...

No Better Tomorrow
****"No better tomorrow""***


Before the sun could have made its appearance,
her eyes are forced open,
with the outburst of the little one's patience;
Frustrated, sleep deprived and irritated, 
She jolts her head with the steel roof,
roof of sufferings,
covering the trek for butter and bread;
She tries to calm her...

Man 

being humbled by an invisible virus

is now on the verge of realizing his limitations 

fact 

that would force him to admit his inadequacy 

and

make him demolish the vain edifice of superiority

that his vanity has built up throughout the millennia

thus 

hopefully, this would lead him...

The future I believe we all shall see
is not a hopeful one, yet I will try
to think a bit optimistically!
For those of you who are afraid to die,
I write this message. There is hope beyond
this world with all its woes, and there is good
in many...

Better Tomorrow
Something is wrong 
from long time ago 
since Adam bite apple
from Eve's hands. 

They were punished 
and forced from the paradise, 
lately met problems, pain, tears and fears. 

They were ashamed of their own naked bodies and make clothes from leaves, 
killed innocent animals in...

A Better Tomorrow
I met an old man 
while I was studying abroad.
At first I was afraid
because he seemed so odd.

It is hard to sit here 
and express how I felt. 
He didn’t have to explain 
the hand he was dealt.

If you could take a look, 
into his...

As jaws of hell consume our city streets
Division reigns within all fifty states
But hope for change within my heart still beats
Perhaps in your heart, too, it resonates

November ushers in a choice to make
That could, in fact, restore tranquility
Releasing blazing cities from their stake
As embers fade,...

A Better Tomorrow
Politicians want to make money,
Use this virus as a kind of excuse,
Media spreads fear and it's not funny,
Is there a way to overcome these blues?

Nothing can help man out of this debacle,
Nothing can give him hope but a vaccine,
All the world wants now is a...

River, oil, black sludge, bubbles of despair!
Crystal clear stream once, when I was a lad!
Man’s dreaded waste, pollutes beyond repair!
Smoke, stench, spreads in town, water can’t be had!

Greed of man floods across, splashes all land!
Million cars drive around, petrol everywhere!
How acrid this air, do they...
