The future has been around for hundreds of years Shadowed in doubt and shadowed in fears But when the upcoming becomes the past We find the answers to what we’ve asked. We learn our meaning and find our desires, We mend our wounds and start new fires, We discover friends and hear their requests, We accept new jobs and are paid in stress. The future, for decades has been the same A test for humans, a waiting game.  The future becomes present, and soon - past Always answering what we once have asked. The only variable to change in years Are the answers determined by our peers. So do not fret for what is not now The future is only what you allow.

The Future
The future has been around for hundreds of years Shadowed in doubt and shadowed in fears But when the upcoming becomes the past We find the answers to what we’ve asked. We learn our meaning and find our desires, We mend our wounds and start new fires, We discover friends and hear their requests, We accept new jobs and are paid in stress. The future, for decades has been the same A test for humans, a waiting game.  The future becomes present, and soon - past Always answering what we once have asked. The only variable to change in years Are the answers determined by our peers. So do not fret for what is not now The future is only what you allow.
