The Future Poem by Gary Diamond

I suppose it's not wise to want to get too much insight into the future.
Because preconceptions are often a dangerous thing.
Often a suicidal thing, if not handled with kid gloves.

It's out there roaring to meet us though. Thousands of skilled hands
Shaping destinies and chopping the bark from the trees.
They say one day the planet will be rinsed with water.
The gypsy told me one day I'd have a prize-winning daughter.
Odd and random tidings of the future.

I found several interesting patterns, maybe others did as well.
The future can be oddly arousing if you consider that
When you open a history book
Sometimes it's like opening today's newspaper.

These creatures of habit may change the tools of the trade
But the trade and the job certainly remain the same, just as well.
Amazing discoveries, disgusting atrocities.
Empires raising and falling in correlation.

Open up a good history book
And join together the dots.

The future is the past with the keywords changed.
