TO THE FUTURE
By Matt Decker
To the human who's stuck -
Muck. Mire. Rut.
>
To the heart ripped apart -
Stark. Hurt. Dark.
>
To the mind in a bind -
Behind. Confined. Blind.
>
To the prisoner of circumstance -
Song and dance of happenstance.
>
To the given moment -
Dormant. Torment. Lonesome.
>
To the unpleasant present -
Desert. Restless. Incessant.
>
To this Space and Timing -
Existing. Twisting. Winding.
>
These lines align for you
To fathom a farther view.
>
Exercise in Futurity
To exorcise futility.
>
TO THE FUTURE!
(and beyond)
A suture,
A balm.
>
To a better unfettered date
On the Great Calendar of Fate.
>
To the time yet to be -
Next chapter.
New history.
