Tomorrow is always looking back at us
We chase it
We appeal to it
We prostrate before it
We bathe in its shadow
But it is not loyal to us
We rise anew everyday not knowing if tomorrow will divorce us
But what choices do we have
Appeasement or abandonment
We are enveloped in its judgement
For one day there won't be a tomorrow we can move with our will to make or
mould molehills or monuments
These sentiments
Bring relevance to our present predicaments
Shall we forever live for a time we will never grasp
Or do we sacrifice a part of our precious commodity being a present presence
To present our future descendants with
To take up the baton previous generations didn't want to run with
Should we build pyramids of sand castles
We chase it
