People of today

The people of yesterday 

What would they say? 

We stole their tomorrow 

Filling it with our sorrow

We will be like them one day

The future won’t let us stay

Unless we make a difference 

To life, we show indifference 

The calendar gives wheels

To the future, which reveals 

The faces of tomorrow 

Whose time we can’t borrow 

To make the most of now 

No one can teach us how

We are the people of today

Can we afford to go astray?
