“The future is there... looking back at us.” - William Gibson Pointing its ugly finger too... get on the bus, all of you. Be here now because tomorrow never came. Prepared for the worst, just the same. Today is all we got, so make it the best... Maybe we can change the future yet. The past is always there... for it is why we’re here. Seeing if there’s hope. Wondering if we care. Looking for some answers... find them there, if you dare. But don’t get lost, don’t be afraid Even knowledge comes with a cost. We must be brave and stand up tall Even when the bombshell falls. So, Enjoy every peace that you can chance For anything can happen by happenstance.
