I saw the future …

I saw the future, and it was joy.
I saw the future, and it was life.
A prince in his father’s kingdom, was I.
I have all, I need not, I want not.

I saw the future, and it was grim.
I saw the future, and it was death.
An orphan without a home, was I.
I am poor, I am shunned, I am alone.

I saw the future

I am light, but I am blind.
I am water, yet I burn.
I am life, but I am death.
I am heaven, yet I burn.

I saw the future.

I made a choice.
