Flash forward



FLASH FOWARD

Standing in front of the mirror,
As I stared at the figure facing me.
Soon, this figure would fade,
And try to fit into this world of change.
Suddenly, my heart swooped to the future,
And what tomorrow might enclosure.
This figure would bear a name she doesn't own,
And produce fruits of her own.
She would be a blessing or a curse to Nations,
to rebuild or destroy a foundation.
The time shall come
when this figure will face the creator,
before the great emancipator.
To give account of her labour,
and the success of her endeavors.
A flinch of doubt touched my skin,
Fearful balls arise in me.
With a silent voice, came the question,
Are you ready?!!
