Watershed Hopes Fed Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Upon the cusp of new millenium
life shared now offers opportunities,
although space, privacy at premium
are often auctionned off by thieves who'd please
themselves reversing true priorities.

Unique perspective's offered middle age
today between traditions of the past
and future acceleration, all the rage
as multi-modal life spins very fast
towards a future showing virgin page.

That page is our's to ink, as link between
two, three full generations' need-to-know
how causal interplays may set the scene
for future growth as time's tides forward flow
to span what could be with that which has been.

Bio, nano, new technologies
lead through one age towards a new, Aquarian,
as climate change alternates drought and freeze
old ethic founder, cave in, antiquarian
berated by revamped prior-I-tease.

The choices are both various, precarious,
as unemployment rises, pensions fall,
restrictions on freewill could prove nefarious
to those who value freedom above all,
some options hardly seem to be hilarious.

When pros and cons are balanced side by side,
challenges today are well worth living,
transmitting knowledge, sharing both inside
and out to flout doubts, towards fools forgiving,
is spice of life where hopes for scope abide.
