The Tomorrow Poets

[Through The Living Ketek He/Him/His]

THERE IS A TOMORROW 

There is a Tomorrow
For there always has been
We say we can’t be there
And Today’s our prison

Of Yesterday, we remember.
When bliss was our life
We say that we’re burdened
By Today’s constant strife.

We wake up each Morning.
Expecting Tomorrow
But its arrival is hindered
By Today’s lingering sorrow

We’ve lived in Today
Feeling curious fear
For we can know nothing
Until Tomorrow is here.

We bathe in nostalgia
Of when we were whole
But then we grew up
And those stories are dull.
“All work and no play
We'll save that for Later.”
But we live in the Now
To which we must cater.

If there wasn't Tomorrow
How did we get to Today
For Tomorrow was Now
When there was Yesterday

There must be Tomorrow.
Or else we wouldn’t live on.
Either it’s not deserved Yet.
Or we’ve been there, it’s gone.

But if we’ve been to Tomorrow,
Why go back to Today
We know all its problems
So there isn’t a way

Why aren’t we ready?
Who decides if we are?
If Tomorrow is out there
It can’t be too far.

When we get to Tomorrow
There won’t be any pains.
Today will be History
And we’ll be free of our Chains.

I believe in Tomorrow.
And who judges its come.
While Today may be stressful
Hope makes the pain numb.

So we wait for Tomorrow
The thing right out of sight
While we can’t say we know it.
It knows us, it just might.

We could lose our dreams
We may lose our patience 
But if one soul remembers
We’ll have Tomorrow’s obeisance.

There is a Tomorrow
I just know it’s true
Sometime in my Future
I will see it through.

 

Feel free to post poems like this at any Time, or you can make more stanzas for this!

Man that's awesome

Edited April 10 by Kansas Stormcursed

They say the sun comes out Tomorrow
But it's easy to get lost in the weeds
We claim that objects always fall down
But only until we fall up through the trees

One day the dawn might not be seen
The sky forever black from blue
We don't think this will happen
But we can't prove for sure

But therein lies the key, the answer
We cannot know for sure
So know that nature is not easily stopped
And trust in the days to turn

Tomorrow might never become Today
So live like Today is all there is
And if Tomorrow comes to pass
Then there lies another day in which to live

Living for tomorrow is a half-night life
Ever waiting for Tomorrow's sun
But the sun of Today flares overhead
And a better Tomorrow comes from
Today

Hmmmmmm

I like it!

 

Aw darn, you've got my name!

 

How can we get there?

Do we do what we should?

My personal thoughts:

Make others see good.

 

For Tomorrow is worthless

If we don't ever make it

Just get through the Day

Or pretend you can take it

 

If you fall get up,

Or you might miss the Soon

And all your hard work

Will be without Boon

 

So look forward to the Morrow

As it does for you

And when it is ready,

It'll pick itself up too.

I'm rather liking how this is going

Now some may be asking

Is there any fine text?

When we get to Tomorrow

What happens Next?

 

Will it become like Today?

Will it all become worse?

Is Yesterday gone?

Will Tomorrow just hurt?

 

Is there more to be found?

Is Tomorrow not it?

Can we keep moving forward?

Is there an end to all of it?

 

So be wary, be careful,

But don't be afraid.

For Tomorrow is better

And it could be higher grade.

We talk about Tomorrow 

Plan too much or not at all

Dream of Times that never come

Or don't move beyond Today's fall

Tomorrow comes too quickly

Though Today seems stretched thin

And there's only one Tomorrow 

But it shows the Future in

And as for lonely Yesterday 

It's Often overlooked 

In search of shiny Futures

We neglect what from the Past we took

But Yesterday sets foundations

And monuments of great design

Need planning for Tomorrow

And building in Present Time

So while Tomorrow is infinity

And Yesterday paves the way

To get anywhere at all

We need to focus on Today

Wow.

Remember, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow aren't the only words to capitalize, also capitalize time words like Time, Later, Then, Soon, Past, Future, etc.

Tomorrow, Today, Yesterday

The 3 days we all know.

Any day can be said

Within these three.

Yesterday's Yesterday.

Tomorrow's Tomorrow.

Future, Present, Past.

After, During, Before

"Tomorrow is a mystery

Yesterday is history

But Today is a gift.

And that's why they call it

The present." - A Wise Turtle

We will never see Tomorrow

Never live in Yesterday

But we can imagine and predict a Tomorrow

We can remember a Yesterday

But we will always live in Today.

Today will always be where we are.

In time.

Don't get too caught up in Tomorrow.

Predictions only last so long.

Don't get too caught up in Yesterday.

Memories are in the past.

Remember to live in Today.

Cause that's where everyone is.

Yearning for those in Tomorrow

Will only harm those in Today

Yearning for those in Yesterday

Will only harm the you in Today.

If you find someone stuck in Yesterday.

Don't stay there too long.

Because those stuck in Yesterday

Would rather you move along.

If you find yourself yearning for Tomorrow.

Don't imagine it too long

Remember that you of Tomorrow

Would rather you stay here for long.

You will never know Tomorrow

Never live in Yesterday

All you can do

Is stay in Today.

Slaves

We are all slaves

Working for Tomorrow

For waiting for Tomorrow

For worked slaves are we.

Thank you

On Days like these
I find myself
Running in reverse.
I find myself 
On Days like these
Too weak to even curse
On Days like these
I find myself
Too lazy to rehearse
I find myself
On Days like these
Pondering the universe
On Days like these
I find myself
Ready to disperse
I find myself 
On Days like these
Doing the inverse
On Days like these
I find myself
Not ready to traverse
I find myself
On Days like these
Repeating the same verse
On Days like these
I find myself
With no way to reimburse
I find myself
On Days like these
With feelings too diverse
On Days like these
I find myself
With tasks far too adverse
I find myself 
On Days like these
Not able to immerse
… myself.

I thought this was a place to share our work. Honest mistake.

[Through The Living Ketek He/Him/His]

I mean it's really good.
