Beyond The Future Poem by Bob Gibson

I have been back to the future, and to the future beyond,
Utopia, is not all its cracked up to be, and I need you to understand
yes! you will have the life of simple living, there is nothing that you need,
no grocery shopping, no work, there is no need for greed!

everything is beautiful, every lawn is manicured,
there is nothing for you to wish for, everything has been secured
no crime exists in our 'so called' perfect world, for there is no need to steal
anything your heart desires, we can make it real!

no poverty, no hunger, no class, were all the same
black or white does not matter! there isn't any blame!
i won't go into religion! this is an experiment of kind
I'm on this earth to observe, and to report on, what i find

I've lived an earth time life, my report is now complete
I've studied the inhabitants, and found them rather weak
no tolerance, no patience, , but they do possess a gene
its something that we missed, one that was never seen!

Life in the future is so static, like iron, life is cast
there's no hunger, wars or resentment, i feel, I belong, in the past!
the excitement of not knowing, and of my computerized life
the selection of my loved one, or my choice! of a wife!
