THE COSMIC DRAMA

 

Dr. C. Jacob

 

            The house in which you live today

            Is not yours but others’ tomorrow:

            The land you own and enjoy this day,

            Not yours but of men of the morrow.

 

            The chair in which you sit today,

            Some one also would squat tomorrow:

            The bed on which you lie this day,

            A stranger might roll on the morrow.

 

            All yesterdays live and die for today

            And all to days must for tomorrow:

            All the past should for the present day,

            And all the present shall for the morrow.

 

            This is the play you see today,

            This is the game you play tomorrow:

            If old is to die to this new day,

            This new must die for the morrow.
