Future Past

Future Past I had a vision of how life could be I was brought back in time to 2003 our sun was blocked, all life was indoors a new future emerged from so many wars disease was all gone, nobody got ill all you had to do was take one little pill aspects of life were not left to chance not even the smallest of man’s circumstance the trees disappeared, each structure was stone there was no religion, God was not known old people were gone, nobody was entombed at age 33 you were euthanized and consumed I was 50 years old in my 33rd year my family was gone, I felt nothing but fear I was now all alone, completely out of place I still had gray hair and wrinkles on my face I didn’t belong, in each eye I saw doubt I found many doors, but there was no way out I ran for my life down hallways with no end I prayed God to help with just one single friend Will this future past, one day come to be If we all lost our faith and no longer could see Imagine our life without the son of God’s birth Mankind could be trapped, in a hell here on Earth

Scary stuff, just like Jan says Mark, having said that, it is an excellent poem, soooooooooooooooo creative! I have neglected my poetry lately Mark, we had a terrible experience on Holiday my poem Thieves in the night, and just before that my husband had a major op and tomorrow I have an urgent appointment with a vascular surgeon because my one foot has gone blood red. Just an unfortunate couple of months. Take care. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

It was a nightmare I had the other night.

50 years old in your 33rd year...that was some nightmare, Mark. It would make a good story line for an episode of Twilight Zone. Imagination running wild.
