Expectation

Михаил Толкачев
All our life is expectation-
”To be or not to be”.
We’re passengers at a station
Where a train‘s supposed to be.

We have been waiting, waiting…
The train’s supposed to be
At two (as the schedule’s saying),
But it arrived at three.

Don’t worry, wish you props,
Be careful, and be quiet,
And long-awaited hopes
Supposed to be acquired.

Be obstinate, persistent,
Believe your turn arrives.
Go straight - across  resistance!
Ahead of time don’t die!
