Echoes of Tomorrow

 By Jona Poems

Waking up with a keen mind,

Knowing we are greater than them.

Raising a piece of paper,

With hearts full of purpose 

But it's a waste of time.

Only echoes ring in our ears.

They keep saying,

We are the torchbearers,

The stepping stones of future days.

We keep repeating the words,

Yet the same sins are repeated.

We keep giving them chances

To uplift their lives not ours.

Echoes of tomorrow.

Who will drive this train?

I said when?

Old tunes still lead the way,

But we want Amapiano to run the game.

Still, it’s echoes.

The steel is being misused.

We are not the echoes of tomorrow.

For small coins, we shed sweat,

Yet receive no benefit.

We go out and cheer for them.

Let’s change our mindset 

We are the echoes of today,

Not tomorrow.
