Today is Yours

 
 

I see you moving in the cosmic movie

Like a ray of hope

Daughter of determination that you are

None can deprive you

Of your right today

From within your bosom

Shall blossom a movement

Pervading the continents

Your role everywhere

In politics or in science

In literature or in literacy

In society or in culture

In piece or in crisis

Speaks of your capability

In a changing world.

As one more millennium

Is heading towards its end

Millions watch you expanding and anticipating

And shaking the stagnation.

The future of humanity

Is linked with your present,

The past is buried

Along with its nightmares

Of oppression and suppression

Today is yours ---

You who embody a new idiom.

                                    a new expression
