Tomorrow- a recital

TOMORROW….a recital

Tomorrow is the vanquish of sorrow and sweet bile

Tomorrow is the vanquish of apartheid, neo-colonialism, the Nazis, its rank and file

Tomorrow is undefiled

Tomorrow is the vanquish of anguish languishing in the uncertainties of our dreams,

Tomorrow is my dream, your dream, our dreams

Tomorrow is the vanquish of painful penury bursting at its seams

Tomorrow is bliss, as it seems

Tomorrow is when liberalism, capitalism, socialism would all just become isms

Tomorrow is without criticisms, or screaming placards on prisms

Tomorrow is the alpha and omega of revivalism

Tomorrow is the vanquish of sin recorded in capital initials

Tomorrow is the vanquish of homosexuals locking lips in unholy nuptials

Tomorrow is the resurrection of Bob Marley and Ray Charles

Tomorrow is our chance

Tomorrow is the confederation of the Pope, the Arch-Bishop, the Imam, and the Presbyterian

Tomorrow shall amalgamate the carnivore, the glutton and the vegetarian

Tomorrow makes a youth of an Octogenarian

Tomorrow is an alien

Tomorrow is the vanquish of all ‘bush’, ‘some damn insane’ as we have ‘been laden’ by their negative
synergy

Tomorrow is the vanquish of the proliferation of missiles, and atomic energy

Tomorrow is the vanquish of our elegy

Tomorrow the Apocalypse shall see its demise

Tomorrow shall realize and not antagonize

Tomorrow shall tell no lies

Tomorrow is not a cavity

Tomorrow is a reality, my reality, your reality, our reality

But Tomorrow’s road is no mirth

For tomorrow is life after death.
