Live Today

We are happy today, for a moment of glee,
Forgetting tomorrow, change will be our destiny,
We might be better, we might be lost,
But tomorrow is to reveal that, so why not live today,
With no fear, no worries, no need of any kind,
Just a smile, and with all we have,
Be naive, relax, the world ends not today,
We have worried till date, so what has it given except cries?

You were born with tears, then joy swooped down,
But as you grew up it was swallowed,
By the dark times in your mind,
For the perspective matters, there's nothing like bad,
But how can you believe that, when you were taught else,
Since birth, since the tears, since the lost joy descended?

You thought you were everything,
Your demands were the sole,
But elders taught you better,
And think about all,
Alas, it's true, you should do for others too,
But didn't they teach you, that you are something too?

We must learn to live today,
Before trying to think whether we will die t'morrow,
The change is what is needed, not in the  world,
But in us, our mind, our soul, in we,
Fail we may, try again,
For isn't living today in hell, better than tomorrow's dream of Heaven?
