View Of The Future Poem by Hendrik Jan Marsman
View Of The Future
Rating: ★4.0
When they pass away some poets
want the light to die when they go
for the world to end and though
they're furious about their own demise
I stand by the river, you know
and watch how light
royally passes me by;
I don't wallow in it, just swallow
harrowed at this vacant view.
