After the Start But Before the End

somewhere in the middle

our reward's today

they came from yesterday

  what comes tomorrow

  that is why we're here today

Your description of the poem reminded me of an essay by Achebe on postcolonialism. He also stresses the need to be in the middle, but I think he was talking about a middle position in postcolonial thought.

Succinct but insightful. Thank You
