A war with yesterday ends,
A phase of life emerges as the victor
And today is born..
A war with yesterday!
And a compromise with today!
A galaxy of anxieties
Surrounds a man who is just a planet of an explosion.
A caravan of tomorrows
By passes him who is a pedestrian of odds.
Was his war with yesterday a heroic act?
An answer evades his territory of prudence.
After a long wait a rain shatters the land dry
And he looks through the windows of fear.
The war with yesterday ends for ever
But there is nothing else to begin.
A small stream struggles to find its way forward
As new pebbles arise from a slumber.
A war with today is in the offing-
Victors are masked as ever before!
