Yesterday (An ode to Benazir Bhutto)

Wherever you look I will be there in a yesterday.
Whatever you read, you will see me in a yesterday.
Tomorrows are for the Divine to sort
I've laid down my life today
So that you find me, in every yesterday.

History repeats itself, so they say
I have made one for myself today.
Freedom is never cheap.
It's costed us our lives and peace
Our names will now be in gold
I've won back the pride they said was no more.

Today when I see you cry
I sense a twinkle in my eye
I am the yesterday you denied
I will be in every yesterday for the rest of your life.

(Ode to Benzair Bhutto: 1953-2007; Assasinated on Dec 27, 2007 at Rawalpindi)
