    About this ebook

    The Notes on this Special Edition 


    The first edition of The Way Of Tomorrow was published last year, but this second edition contained half of my all time favorite poems and award winning poetry. Each poems are specially and carefully selected from the three volumes of...History, Ancestors and Spirit. There are a couple of poems included in this anthology that has never ever been published anywhere.


    All the thirty-five poems in this edition speak some truth or knowledge or facts of the three dimensions of the universe and the deep mystery behind them. For instance, is true love a mirage or reality, does love fade, is there a way you can influence your life to be better or worse by your acts and doings or there is pre-destiny. What is good or bad, what happens at death and after-death.


    These are the things most of my works deals with and in this special second edition, you will see the flash of these. Let your dreams endure, for they will live.


    Enjoy and be inspired.

      First Part: From A Design To A Great Destinies

      Rooster Roosted

      The friend failed badly;

      Unexpectedly.

      Parents refused to pay at all;

      Wholesomeness.

      Your country cut short the chase;

      Irresponsibly.

      Mocking your failing journey ;

      Blatantly.

      When the heart of love

      So potently contaminated,

      And the pain of your gain

      Could neither hold water

      Or sustain at all.

      What a beauty that holds not!

      What a grace that is ungraceful!

      What a river crying for pebbles!

      What a day looking for aura!

      What a destiny without essence!

      What a life fairly unguarded at the crucible!

      What a wandering thought of a tired mind!

      What a time of a desperate help...

      And helplessness!

      A time of judgement and pride,

      Though the anthills never rejects

      Moisture;

      The mansion and the shackle
