TOMORROW IS JUST A SHADOW

When we were kids; we thought life was beautiful...
As kids life was the sweetest thing as fortunes,
Then we were just innocent doves
Who knew not the aches of life's troubles,

Now we have grown old,
Striving all day like a toad
We have walked this weary road
Today we don't have to be told

We were just believers of tomorrow,
And despise-rs of today!
Planning for a big tomorrow
Put no foundation for today,

Don't blame it on yesterday!
You still have today;
There is no such thing as tomorrow!
Only lazy people live on tomorrow,

You are strong...
For you to get along
You have to fight head-long
Then your victory will be a song!

Don't escape today's pain,
That's what yield tomorrow's gain
Life is not a game
It will tame you lame...

Everyday you complain,
And you end up lame
Now you are seeking whom to blame
Ooh on tomorrow's lane!

Live everyday for today
Because gone is yesterday,
You have one shot at this life
So stand tall, and live-life

Don't be moved by what they say
That's what they do everyday!
They couldn't do it, doesn't mean you can't
Live everything on i can...

Don't worry tomorrow would be better...
If you don't do it today, then there is always a tomorrow
No, no, no, there is no sure-tee you will show up tomorrow
Life is not tasteful as creamed-bread or milked-butter

If tomorrow would be better
While not work for it today!
Believe me there is no such thing as tomorrow sweetheart
Make it happen , then you have the taste of fulfillment,

When you want to simplify this life
Its not just milk, you may do more than strive
Because life is not a free ride
If you want to win, face the tide!

Truth be told: tomorrow waits for no man
He night runs until tomorrow to elevate the winner-man,
Be ahead of tomorrow by working hard today
Till you have that taste of the day,

You always say, we are leaders of tomorrow
What about today?
It will surely be better tomorrow!
There is no such thing as tomorrow.

HOME REJECTED

Cool evening kids danced round the fire
played till mid-night and never tire
this home was once full of excitement
now this place is rejected

at childhood they loved this place
at adulthood they abhor this place
they crossed seas to change their state
so they rejected this place in search of fame

we grew up together
we had faith towards one another
but today we are just observers
of the dream we once admired

we wished for big dreams
we believed what we saw in movies
unknown to us that was just fictions
today most of us are victims

if home is home why did you leave
while you were here destiny sleeps
big dreams vanished here
I hope you find solace there

these are the nevers
which pitch there tenth on decayed layers
hoping for the best
working for the less

we are very few optimist
that laserate this mischief among our mist
advocates for humanity
preachers of mercy

life is just too short
we don't hesitate to take a shot
we have to stand tall
else we end up like them that fell

we wanted to live big
so we dreamed big
life appeared a unproductive fig
haven't we yet dig deep

we woke up in a crazy world
choked of fruitless words
despised like a bug
feared like a tug

it was a period when we went to school without shoes
we loved it, because it was the escape of woes
even today we have educated illiterate
who at office postrate

why did you say we are leaders of tomorrow
what about today
why did you say it will be better tomorrow
how about today

if home is home, why is home dejected
this home is for long rejected
there is nothing like home
when you can't even remember your language tone

build a wonderful life
make a peaceful home
never give up on your dreams by going back home
home is in your heart, the one back there is rejected.

TASTE OF FULFILLMENT

A runner that crosses the finishing line
that's the taste of fulfillment
a man that got praises all over his timeline
that's the taste of fulfillment

a man that speaks and people listen
that's the taste of fulfillment
a man that have his fear smitten
that's the taste of fulfillment

a man that has a peaceful family
that's the taste of fulfillment
a man that's top of the academy
that's the taste of fulfillment

a man that crosses doubt stream
that's the taste of fulfillment
a man that's living his dream
that's the taste of fulfillment

a man that impact the people's economy
that's the taste of fulfillment
a man that have a better philosophy
that's the taste of fulfillment

a man that won a contract
that's the taste of fulfillment
a man that takes his bride on a flight
that's the taste of fulfillment

a young boy or girl that got admission into college
that's the taste of fulfillment

that's the taste of fulfillment

fulfillment is getting does things done
when we pass through the fire
and have a taste of finishing
that's the taste of fulfillment

when we stop wishing and start doing
when we laugh and stop weeping
when we get to the peak of our destiny
that's the taste of fulfillment

when we leave a legacy
when we respect his supremacy
and create a perfect tendency
that's the taste of fulfillment

fulfillment is when we pave way for others
and we don't rule with coers orders
but rest our might in God's power
then he takes us above the tower

when we find perfect grace
to walk and run the race
and totally set the pace
that's what called fulfillment

a man that has this hope till the end
that's the taste of fulfillment
welcome home worthy and faithful servant
that's fulfillment.

CRY FOR CHANGE

Our mother's spake
Our father's decided
The children succorned,
Still what is this called?

It's really a world of woe
Men came, victories gone,
Victor totally fogotten!
What we speak of all gone...

When I was a child, I heard stories;
Epics of men who served their countries,
Now all those are just memories!
Today's reaction is an illusion from our past glories...

What is our slogan-Battle for self?
What is forgiveness-War or peace?
Is life a competition, to boast?
Are we still relying on doubt!

They said children are the leaders of tomorrow
I have been hearing that time-after-time
Government only but re-cycles
Kids, inorder to eat push wheel-barrow!

There is no ground for the common-man;
His thought is just to eat and stay alive,
He keeps believing the parliamentary lie
Don't worry says he: let the sleeping dog lie!

Is there any solution to this mess?
Everyday the problem grow intense!
We are sitting on the fense
And steadfastly praying for change,

When will this problem end...
I have grown old,
The peoples plight still-bold
This nations fate is yet untold.

They enforce their opinion,
The memoradum of their union,
These men at the top
Won't at this length stop!

They shout for change
When they are seen on stage,
But love to see pain
In a poor man's face;

They are happy in their mansions,
Everybody echoes yes to sanction
The poor man to his station
Tomorrow is another day for caution;

Change is constant,
But greed is permanent!
Man's need so important
To work they feel relunctant;

Their communion
Is to see commotion
Among us who raised the motion
For the common-man liberation;

Greed is what we should take heed of
Unless lust in us feed-off,
Then we become agents of terror
That's not the will of the emperor.
