Tomorrow : Hope of my country

At the break of dawn
Darkness fades
Leaving behind a bright blue shade
Welcoming our eyes to a brand new day
Like a storm that must cease
As the sun shines
Is the hope of my country
Existing as tomorrow
A chance of a better today

Those who listen will hear
The faint voice of tomorrow
Telling us to wake up
But we fail to awake
From our unpleasant slumber
Even as the loudest sounds explode
Around us
And we wonder “why”
Wen we ought to pounder “how”

How can we can rise
When we refuse to realize
That we all have a role in this play
Why do we delay
When tomorrow awaits only seconds away
And change can begin today.

Surely we have seen enough suffering and pain of yesterday
That has broken into today with it’s eyes on the future
And we know that the fate of the future lies in the state of tomorrow
And the existence of that tomorrow lies with us.

So let us abandon pride and ride to pristine,
Put our differences aside not first,
Stand united not fall divided,
We can extinguish the burning flames of hatred and tame the darkness,
Let’s desist from saying he is one of us and finally say we are one,
Washing away our corrupted mentality of division,
We can be the finders and builders of our founders and forefather’s foundation,
And the labour of our heroes past
Will not remain in vain.

Yesterday becomes what was
A bitter memory
Then in a luminous light
we’ll see
The hope of our country
Tommorrow is coming……..
