The Verdict Poem by Dorsey Baker

The future be It bright
Or be It dark
The verdict is in
The future has to come
Where the world will be
It is not known
Some will be here
Some will be gone
The world will be here
Or it may be gone
But the future
Has to arrive!

Bringing life
Bringing death
And with it
Change will come
Some eyes will be open
Some eyes will be closed
For some of us
The future is long
For some of us
The future is short

But the future has its arrival
Just as soon as
The present has past!
