Tomorrow is the Night

Poem anticipating President Obama's sppech before Congress on health reform

Tomorrow is the night
To do or die

Tomorrow is the night
To ride your horse to the sky

Tomorrow is the night
To give the reasons why

Tomorrow is the night
For a rousing rallying cry

Tomorrow is the night
Not to be one bit shy

Tomorrow is the night
To look the right in the eye

Tomorrow is the night
Backing down to deny

Tomorrow is the night
To say costs won’t go too high

Tomorrow is the night
To announce your new deal will fly

Tomorrow is the night
To explain why others lie

Tomorrow is the night
To say why things won't go awry

Tomorrow is the night
To define the bonds that tie

Tomorrow is the night
To say the time is now nigh

Tomorrow is the night
For the old college try

Tomorrow is the night
The political odds to defy

Tomorrow is the night
To let gov't option out to dry

Tommorrow is the night
To do or die or compromise
