The future is now
But some think the future is a big event looming ahead
Not knowing she comes when we're gone dead
When you get to her, she morphs while u sleep
Then you see her no more
And the now swiftly overtakes you
As you keep planning to meet her,
But she will never come
Because she is now
That’s what she will always be
So my advice is
Take one day at a time
To observe is to be wise
Fixing your eyes on now,
She is the future you can manipulate
The rest is wishful thinking
And wishes are horses for beggars riding to
Tomorrow, the biggest future swiftly overtaken
By today, the only real persistent moment
For us poets to live and leave a statement
The future, she is sand grains away.
Seconds make minutes
Minutes make hours
Hours make days
Days make weeks
Weeks make months
And months make years
The list is endless
But your human life is finite
So make every split-second worth while
Because you can die
In the blink of an eye
Before you truly and fully live your life
Many realities are inside the mind
Let them out now cuz
Every second lost
Will never be regained
And every hour gone
Should be replaced with a new design
If there is anything new down here.
Don’t forget
If you can’t do small things
You can’t do big things
And if you can’t be trusted with few
You can’t definitely be trusted with much
And our capped human life is just a demo
The author of life is testing his pieces
Before giving them the premium version of life.
