Do you know what

Will

Could

Should

Would

Happen

Coders and Holders both
Worked together toward a common goal
Instead of selfish gain and thought control

These are not just rambling meanderings
Or meandering ramblings
These are the spoken word of my pen

When we flick a switch the lights turn on
A new dawn on the horizon
It is the time
When mothers kiss their babes goodnight
Not worrying about tomorrow

Are we not drawn onward to new era?
With palindrome lullabies
Comforting children from their cries
First look in the mirror

What you see today will not be tomorrow
When you look you should see
More than just receding hair
You should see a gentler and wiser self in there
You should see who you want yourself to be

Regardless of A.I. developments
Or stock market speculations
We become the person we are to be
Evidence is on your face as I speak

Greed
Contempt
Arrogance
Words come from your mouth
That you cannot believe had been in there
Doubt creeps in like a venomous centipede

Who am I to judge human character
Twenty years ago who would believe me
If I told them

The Chicago Cubs will win the World Series
Donald Trump will be the President
Cars will drive themselves
And no one will afford the rent

It all happened matter of fact
And on top of that
Kim Jung Eun
Shook hands with the South
Singing Arirang
In harmony of one heart

Where do we go from here?
No one would believe me if I told you
But you will be replaced by a bot
Bots will check bots and program each other

Mankind should be defeated by laziness
Of addictions leading them to the abyss
Of mind control and uselessness

And now you do what they told you
We shout with Rage Against the Machine
But our dilapidated dependency
Makes the future unseen

You are looking at the future now
Everything you say and do
Every line of script you type
Every line of code you run
Every song that you sing
These make the future today
And generations that will stay!
