And Tomorrow

Today is filled with anger
fueled with hidden hate
scared of being outcast
afraid of common fate

Today is built on tragedies
which no one wants to face
nightmares to humanities
and morally disgraced

Tonight is filled with rage violence in the air
children bred with ruthlessness
because no one at home cares

Tonight I lay my head down
but the pressure never stops
knawing at my sanity content when I am dropped

But tomorrow I see change
a chance to build a new
Built on spirit intent of Heart and ideals based on truth
and tomorrow I wake with second wind
and strong because of pride
to know I fought with all my heart to keep my dream alive

(By: Tupac Shakur: 1971-1996)

...a hope will always arise when we keep and fight to keep our dream alive.....
