Future Poem by Aa Harvey

Sentimental memories;
Dreams of yesterday.
Wishing for a better opportunity,
To somehow change our ways.


This is our life, our time, our day;
Seize it with both hands,
Because today will soon become a by-gone age
And you will not be given a second chance.


I recall the future, because history repeats itself;
We sit on our own hands and we have no soul left to sell.
Forward into the future, your destination is unknown;
Who are we that we could make a difference, when we are all alone?


The present does not exist, because now is always then;
The present has already gone to become the past.
Inside a split second, we are taken into the future once again
And everything we think we had, I guess we never had.


I see your future on fire burning away in front of you,
As the past is constantly fading away.
Who are you to think you can see further than they claim to?
A post-apocalyptic nuclear future;
This is all I can see and I have nothing more to say.


It is coming like a wrecking ball,
Heading straight for your door;
Your future is on its way so you had better face it head on, or…
It will hit you like you are a baseball and knock you out the park;
We are all blind as to what is to come and we are all lost in the dark.
