COME TODAY, COME TOMORROW

COME TODAY, COME TOMORROW

 

Honesty was the word

For a procurement agent

To attract the offer, that came

Silently so, on a platter of gold

Come today, come tomorrow

 

Rights were ticked on appraisal

Something bigger will come

Showering with golden coins

Nothing noble comes so easy

Come today, come tomorrow

 

Then the struggle began

The stakes were raised so high

And the journey similarly long

Like the Israelites out of Egypt

Come today, come tomorrow

 

When the match began in full

Trepidations forced out adrenalin

Anxiety rose with expectations

The post was shifted suddenly

Come today, come tomorrow

 

Where do I begin the tale

Stories of struggle within a tale

Put your mind on familiar things

And a tale is crafted for the ears

Come today, come tomorrow
