Where Is Our Tomorrow? Poem by Babatunde Aremu

Where Is Our Tomorrow?



Let me ask a question
Let me know about tomorrow
If you can look into the seed of time
Reveal to me what tomorrow will be
What hope do we have for tommorrow
When Youths are jobless
Many children are out of school
What does tomorrow hold for us
When fathers tell lies
Mothers are unfaithful
Couples are divorcing daily
Tell me about tomorrow
When leaders plunder nations
Someone kindly convince me about tomorrow
In the face of mistrust, ethnic schism,
Religious bigotry, wars amongst nations
Where is our tomorrow?
When countries spy on countries
Terrorism reign supreme
Brothers killing brothers
And deaths littered our streets
Is our tomorrow guaranteed
Someone please convince me
That better days are ahead

It makes me anxious when I think about the future of our heirs. Though, we are facing so many problems. Let us hope for better. Nice poem.

This is the question plaguing everyone. Does tomorrow hold for us some hope! When we see so many dismal happenings around, we are bound to grow pessimistic. But it is not yet time to write off. Let us hopefully wait for a good morrow as Martin Luther King(jr) in his fiery speech exhorted the dispirited blacks languishing in slavery! A powerful write!
