Hustling behind the walls,
Calling of room numbers,
The boys watch and wait.
One, five, ten minutes go by,
Then she finally appears.
She had to check her make-up
Two, three, five, seven times,
Before finally coming out.
Then the conversation centers on what happened today,
How he was a hero, or how she was a heroine.
All errors and failures are hidden.
All is pride, boasting and successes.
Then it turns to the future- Tomorrow.
There are promises and dreams to be realized.
Promises to pull the heavens to the earth,
If need be, to make each other happy.
It is all hope and promises
Tomorrow will be bright.
Hope no dream is shattered,
No promises unfulfilled.

Writer Profile
AJI JAMES
I developed an interest in writing in primary school, where writing and documenting the stories that were told in the evenings when the family gathered around the fireside was a hobby.
This interest increased when I travelled to Nigeria for university studies. My thoughts found a way of expression through poetry, which I had hitherto thought very complicated.
I presently have over fifty poems, a little below twenty short stories, and several articles on diverse social issues.
