Yesterday

Yesterday,
What a funny word.

Yesterday I walked the path,
Of those who don't walk anymore.
Yesterday I touched the people,
Of those who don't feel anymore.
Yesterday I saw the faces,
Of those who don't see.

Tomorrow I will walk the walk,
For those who don't walk.
Tomorrow I will touch people,
For those who don't feel.
Tomorrow I will see faces of sorrow,
For those who don't see.

Tomorrow,
What a better word.

    Wow...

    This poem is gorgeous and very real. The message is clear, and inspirational. The last lines are powerful, and sum up the poem, while still maintaining the beauty and flow of it. Bravo, buddyboy.

    Very solemn. This brings a new light to the situation, in hoping that we can move foreword to help and do, but still never forget. Excellent write.

    This was sad. I love the comparison of yesterday and tomorrow. Your voice in this was depressed and detached, as one often gets in a tragedy such as this. Good job, though.

    Immensely powerful words...

    The contrasts you scripted are gripping. I get the sense of here, then gone in a sudden shift. That is how a life can be and be gone, in an instant. Deep, thought-provoking and endearing to ones suffering. Your words reflect an impact of no matter how tragic the event, there is a better after. Thank you.
