100 Years From Now

I have no crystal ball Very little perspective at all, About what the future holds I root myself in the present But if you asked me for my thoughts, I will explain what I think It could surely be for the human race, It could go either way, A barren wasteland of no hope Where people struggle to cope, The last tree is now in a museum And people wear masks for respiration And oxygen cylinders on their backs And the land is now just arid and cracked And all the seas polluted like the earth, with mountains of crap On the other hand it could be a lot different, from that. I think we could see our future as green Pure clean, clear and pollution free seas, With abundant marine life swimming across coral reefs, Where we also witness a resurgence of trees Where cattle farms are returned to forests, And people have opted for the vegetarian option And everywhere we look are fields of green verdancy And houses are made sustainable Green power now rules all, Windmills and solar panels have replaced the dirty mines and pylons And communal living has reduced man's spread Birth control has done its best, To limit man's virus like spread And animals have had their habitats returned And nature is now more beautiful as far as life is concerned, Because we no longer try to control or exploit it any more. These are the routes our future could take It could be just 100 years away, But in life, that's just the in the blink of an eye So we have to choose and have to decide, How we want to see what life we wish to be defined by And the story that will tell the history of the whole of mankind. 20/05/2018
