The Present Hill

  We all stand upon the present hill
        And wander away to tomorrow
   Wishing we strode the richness furrow

  We all stand upon the present hill
        And touch distant worlds of no scarcities
  As we crunch our present anxieties

  We all stand upon the present hill
        And lick dream that luxury served thought
  Inveighing the scantiness servitude slot

 We all stand upon the present hill
        And taste, lick and munch tomorrow wishes
 As we float to the unrealized riches

 We all stand upon the present hill
        And soar, knowing there some shall not reach
               Or would realize with a killed wish
          
               But standing upon the present hill
                         –toiling and dreaming–
               We know the both of ourselves, as we feel
               The world there and here, the present hill
