Who knows tomorrow
Tomorrow is a pregnant virgin
Nobody knows the sex of her unborn child
Nobody knows what it will be delivered of

But tomorrow has other names
When tomorrow comes
Like the gentle thief
She will bear her other names:

Hope
Success
Achievement

Don't forget
When there is life
There is hope

Hope is like a siamese twins
Carrying Success and Achievement
On her back

Tomorrow is a pregnant dream
For some a nightmare of enemies
For others a pleasurable friend

To be or not to be
Failure or success
Who knows

Your tomorrow
May come smiling
With the gift of life
With the joy of achievements
That is if you believe in tomorrow

So stop wandering
Like a sheep
Lost in the wilderness
Searching for its master

Stop thinking
Like a helpless cow about
To be slaughtered on the abattoir for meal

Remember
Tomorrow
Will come
When it will come

Carrying trailer loads of gifts
To pay homage
To the palace of your heart

Tomorrow is a pregnant dream For some a nightmare of enemies For others a pleasurable friend Tomorrow is uncertain. People approach tomorrow from different stand points. While some believe that tomorrow will be better (optimist) others do not.
