A Century of Years Later
Consider all the years of planet earth
so much change in all that time
even in past century so very much done
became hi-tech age but is all in rhyme?
Now less think now about far into future
one hundred years seems a long way
will that generation know things now?
for no one knows what's ahead in a day
The world may not be here then
Jesus could have returned here
but the world may still be open
open for service may be laid bare
Climate control may have taken over
the arctic ice cap will have gone
so much water covered so much of earth
even fish won't be found gone to spawn
A century of years later
where much indeed changed
if we peoples still do exist
at best we'll all be rearranged
(I have written this piece to look at what I think my version of this world 100 Years Hence would look like.)
