Send a tomorrow Now

I don’t want to dwell on 

disappointments, 

regrets, and fears 

I’ve had enough 

cruelty and greed 

to last me years 

if you could make 

a dream come true 

I’ve just one simple request 

perhaps we could 

make that wish 

or send several prayers 

send tomorrow here 

I want to believe 

the scientists, 

mystics, and my mom 

that tomorrow 

will be brighter 

and my problems will be gone 

that I’ll find love and happiness 

just as sure 

as the sun revolves 

that people have 

the power to get 

everything done 

I want the future now 

consider me spoilt 

impatient 

or wrong 

delusional 

naive 

call me what you want 

but I’ve been hanging on 

with my life 

half a lifetime long 

and before my fingers 

on this ledge get walked 

or worked upon 

throw me a rope 

from your helicopter now 

we need to skip to the happy ending 

the pacing a bit off 

I’ll take tomorrow 

now
