The Future Poem by Hezekiah Tiamiyu

The Future

Rating: 3.7


It seemed just like yesterday
When I, my head came out the womb;
When I, my knee walked the house;
Till my feet stood
Supported by the chairs.
When I ate meat first
And then the breast became bitter.
Ta - Ta
Ma - Ma
Two words were all I knew.
Oh!
With lullaby I sleep...

It seemed just like yesterday,
Hmmm those days are gone.
But then you look back
At those days,
And now standing at the mirror
You wonder,
What the future holds;
Will I be a great poet then?
Maybe I will be a doctor,
No, a lawyer.
What if I am poor?
How many children?
How long will I live?

All questions of the future waving by
Jeez! No answer!

Then always come to the present
And remember my words...
'The future is here! '
