I am tomorrow!

GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)



In the hubbub of a new beginning
In the tumult of life anew
People get carried away
And they mislabel me

To the new day!
Goes the toast
Of the hopeful fellow
Who dreams of grandeur

To a new day!
Goes the homage
Of the pious kind
Who find revelation in it

Another day?
Goes the wail
Of the tormented soul
Whose life is a sentence

To this, that,those…day
Made people call me Today
But my name is Tomorrow!
And if you don’t believe me…

Ask yesterday!
