Tomorrow!

We are born and are soon full grown

But what’s it all about

The day doth follow the sun

And the moon & stars command the night

We populate the world, have Wars & Sickness

Live forever in a human fright

For we know not why we are here

Members of a food chain, wrong or right

To propagate until the end of judgment time

We fish the sea’s and fertilize the land

Eating cattle, lambs, chickens & swine

What have these poor creatures ever done

to us, for us to eat them and so to dine

Create a better world, I ask you why and for who?

Tomorrow’s children will be grown up

and soon departed too!

For someday we may be part of a secret plot to make us all into a chicken stew

And when we depart this place called earth, where or where, do we go?

Are we to be eaten up by a dark hole in outer space

A neutron star, a quantum leap so to speak

Is there such a place, will we be left within this darkened place until a gravitational collapse?

Of men or mice as the saying goes

Please don’t ask me what happens after we are gone, as I believe no one knows!

I hope the stories of years gone by are true
that there is a safe heavenly place for me & you!

We all have to venture into our heavenly tomorrows alone.

Of course if we are like an ant that is stamped on perhaps it will suddenly end and we will be no more ~

I wonder what tomorrow will be like or if there
will be a tomorrow?
