TOMORROW IS NOT PROMISED
by Uriah J. Fields → (All Poetry by Uriah J. Fields)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

A cogent comment on tomorrow by a person who focuses
almost exclusively on the here-and-now with the objective
of debunking the all-too-frequent pronouncement, i.e.,
lie, that "Tomorrow is not promised."

Tomorrow is not promised. There comes a time for
every person when  tomorrow is not promised. But
until that day, the eve before one's demise, any
utterance as fact of this assertion is a bold-faced
lie.
Many people listen to someone tell this lie with
immunity, day after day, year after year and decade
after decade.

How do you know tomorrow is not promised?" That
it is not to be? Are you God? Of course not. Then
why do you play being God? Why do you make the
assertion tomorrow is not promised without ever
giving second-thought, maybe, not even first-
thought, to announcing a lie which if you were
challenged on the next day to refute would do so
without hesitation?

If tomorrow is not promised, it would not be.
Monday would not follow Sunday nor any other
day follow the day before. For not a day, hour,
minute or second exists without fulfilling the
promise of God who knew in Creation that certain
accomplishments would occur the third day  that
followed the second day just as others had done
on the second day that followed the first day. He
alone knows what will be on any day, every day
and for all days, all eternity.

My advice to you  (and advice I am slow to give)
is liar cease and desist playing God. Do not let
another day or hour be colored with your defaming-
bullshitting-prophetic-eschatological-pronouncement
that tomorrow is not promised. Instead, if you must
speculate about tomorrow, let it be no less
optimistic, futuristic and faith-oriented than that
expressed in Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth
soliloquy, Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow."
Let it be.

Reviewed on July 10, 2013
I have no comment other than the simple fact that, barring a celestial accident of unknown origin, the Earth will rotate around the sun exactly as it has every day for over 4,000,000,000 years tomorrow, and all tomorrow's thereafter. There will be slight shifts in this rotation that will require people interested in keeping time to adjust the calendar a bit to compensate for the shifts in rotation.

As far as individuals are concerned, some will face hardship tomorrow and even death, while others will experience joy and progress, just as it has been throughout human existence.
