I figure tomorrow
ought to be a She -
actually
for Yesterday been a He-
for aeons, globally
The same yesterday of wars,
genocides, violence,
famine, lack, power,
corruption, prejudice,
injustice, greed,
many a great atrocity
false charms
many irreversible harms
Today? - well...
Today is no different
He is Yesterday\'s son after all,
following in his father\'s footsteps
Today makes daddy proud
Today\'s nations deplete
at the hands of tribes
Empty stomachs money buys
whilst man\'s morality drowns
in turbulent toxic oceans
Today’s only love is objectified, for sale
and nudified
by unquenchable parched mouths
wrist bound by greed, indoctrinated
by self-serving money scribes
Tomorrow\'s ultrasound
is the future\'s own protest
An impassioned petition
on today\'s last remaining conscience
that it paint the world a She
for maybe then our children\'s lenses
have a different polaroid
picture to see
