The Futures Embrace, Former Knowledge
What the future embraces
No one knows for sure
What the past retains
Creates knowledge everyone claims
Population ever augmenting
Contemporary reports of almost 300 million
Increasing over forty thousand a year
I speculate over-population is near
Childhood steadily becomes drawn out
Companionship achieved later
Married with children at thirteen was customary
Twenty-five is contemporary
Marriage was once sacred
Divorce uncommon
One in every three currently stuck with this blow
The devastating rate not likely to slow
Education becomes more complicated
College was not required
Now admittance becomes emulous and rough
In the future will this higher education be enough?
Our history has always been colored; light and dark
All races under authoritative powers, some merciless and intimidating
All men are created equal now covers all
We will embrace the knowledge; it will not be our downfall
The skies will be dirty
The water will be polluted
We will run out of gas
Without improvement, this may be our fate, alas.
Telegraphs, telephones, and light bulbs; a blast from the past
Internet, cell phones, and Ipods; the current array
Hovercraft cars, teleporters, and human cloning; the future embrace
Will we be able to keep up with the quickening pace?
Politics, economy, ourselves to blame
Catastrophe and happiness
The poor, the rich, the starving and well fed
The only entity that never alters is charge isolated.
The end will come
When will the time permit; this is the conundrum
The apocalypse will arrive, some assume
All I know is that Earth will meet her doom
I'll take comments or criticism.
Tell me what you think.
