'Fate Comes Tomorrow'



No time left for old regrets
No more time to place new bets
No time left for grief and sorrow
No more time to beg or borrow

No time left to build your tower
No more time to wield your power
No time left for greed or fame
In the end we're all the same.

No time to re-do, what you've undone
No place to hide: Nowhere to run
Your fate awaits you, and here comes the sun.
Fate comes tomorrow, and here comes the sun.

    Wow, this poem is absolutely wonderful! The message it conveys is very powerful and leaves a lasting impression on the reader. I really loved how you used the metaphor of the sun rising to represent the inevitability of fate, it was very impactful.

    In terms of constructive criticism, perhaps the structure of the poem could be modified to create a clearer flow. Additionally, the use of rhyme could be improved in some areas to create a smoother rhythm. Overall though, these are minor suggestions and the poem is excellent the way it is.

    Thank you for sharing this amazing piece with us!
