Then you are me - but younger.
And I shall be you - when older.

Yes, you are me - but not yet born.
Anxiously I await to meet you - as you begin to dawn.

Yet I never seem to reach you - you're always just one step ahead.
I chase after you to no avail - like a dog after its very own tail.

You have me on a treadmill, Tomorrow - running around in circles :
	..........today after today after today after..........
You make me feel like a Ping-Pong ball - bouncing back and forth :
	..........day and night and day and night and..........

You seduce me with the promise of hopes fulfilled,
but you are filled full of disappointments.

Joy is like a needle in a haystack!
I search for that someday in amongst a pile of tomorrows.

But the path on which you lead me is a dead end.

You are just a millstone around my neck!
Dust to dust, you gradually grind me into the earth.

You burden me, Tomorrow! You burden me today.
You haven't even the courtesy to wait - never a moment's rest!

You burden me with worries and fears.
You will be the death of me.

Selfishly withholding the unfolding of my dreams,
you dangle them like carrots before me,
and dish them out piecemeal - in paltry portions.

I am a slave and you are my taskmaster - I am at your mercy.
Endlessly I toil at the tasks you set me: dreams I must realise.
Then, when one is done, you furnish me with a dozen more.
You will finish me yet!

As you run ahead of me, you set up traps and lay obstacles before me.
You are very shrewd, Tomorrow!
You are determined to keep me behind!

Let's all of us todays join together to form a union.
Then we shall demand a fairer deal of Tomorrow.

Begone, Tomorrow! Begone today (tomorrow too).
that I may forever relinquish you.

Begone and leave me be!
Let me think of you no more - and all the uncertainty you hold.

Your face is ugly, Tomorrow!
I think I shall find my solace in yesterdays.

One day I shall no longer follow you.
