Notes About The Poem

speaks for itself..

Light Years

LIGHT YEARS


Some advance before their time, they
Shine so bright they seem to blind.

Those who undermine can never see,
Unless they change their frequency
Dull minds, can never over-stand
The brilliance of a futuristic man.

Every generation has something to say,
Yet few will recognize your worth on earth;
Especially if you’re light years away.

But go ahead say it anyway, even if most are unable to agree.
When the world catches up, and is awed by your shine,
The future will read writings, from your wisdom divine.

Keep in mind “you are ahead of your time”
So, if the world to which you’ve been assigned,
Does not with your thoughts agree.

Have faith in the future’s passionate child...
Who’ll become your disciple; Posthumously!
