I See a Future

Poetry

I have foreseen a future...

A future without money, without want or need.

A future where hope is a word rarely spoken except to honor the path in which we've arrived.

I see a future where man helps his fellow man instead of leaving him to the vultures

A future without racism, bigotry and hate

I see a future vacant of systems of oppression

A future without democracy and fascism without communism and terrorism

A future without the need for violence and war

where we are all truly free

I see a beautiful future with free clean and sustainable energy

A future filled with clean air and unpolluted oceans

A future without the need for meat and dairy and the genocide of millions of animals

I see a future with lush recovered forests as far as the horizon

I see a future....

A bright future blocked by bureaucrats and politicians who look to get skinny after years of sitting fat

A future chained by banks and corporations hell bent on staying rich

Crooks in Calvin Klein suits selling us false hope

I see progression slowed by opposition

Money talks and real change continues its mountainous walk

Things need so desperately to change if we are to see a future at all

We're almost at the precipice but I fear by the it'll be too late

If we don't change soon our entire civilization may be at risk

And we will suffer for extinction may be our fate.
