Yesterday Is Nigh Poem by Gbolagade Taiwo

Oh! You merry makers of today
You who live life like the sun will continue to stay
You always think no night shall fall
You do not believe the dark cloud can call
You live your life as you like for today
Your position has made you to forget the opposite of today
Now I tell you,
Yesterday is nigh

You hustlers of today
Tell me! Where have you kept your faith?
Why do you need to accept the fate?
When you know yesterday will come
You labour today uprightly
You shall be favoured tomorrow bountifully
Now I tell you,
Yesterday is nigh

The neutral citizens on earth
You who choose not to condemn nor commend
You are always on the fence
Your failure today will speak tomorrow
No action, no fraction, no preparation
Today is just temporal
Now I tell you,
Yesterday is nigh

You who come to us for support
You package your manifesto
We do not know they are pseudo
You keep playing us like a ludo
We help you with our thumbs
You pay us with your tongues
Now I tell you
Yesterday is nigh

I want you all to know
that the 'is' today
Will be 'was' tomorrow
It is what you do today
Be it good or evil
That will speak for you tomorrow
Now I tell you,
Yesterday is nigh
