No one is promised tomorrow
Hurry today fades
at midnight, today is no more,
only yesterday will remain.

The future seemed bright.
Today is no place for the future.
The future comes because it is the today
of another time.

So be quick while we have the now.
I fear that all we have is the now.
Could it be that the future is promised to no one?
If the future is promised, who is it promised to?

It is promised to him that holds today.
Is it possible that I'm here, in someone's future,
simply because I am?
