220. THE LAND OF TOMORROW
I do not want to live   In the land of tomorrow.
I want to live
   In the land of eternal now.
Those who live in the land of tomorrow
   Just borrow and borrow
   From the land of nowhere
   And never can return.
I want to live in eternal now.
   In each now abides
       My God-fulfilling
       And God-fulfilled
         Vow.
Sri Chinmoy, A Soulful Cry Versus a Fruitful Smile, Agni Press, New York, 1977
