The Inescapable Future

How great our possibilities, if we only lived the realization of our dreams.
If we forsake the limits of these theologies.
If we came together as one society.
If we knew the truths of our history.
If we became aware of our connection across galaxies.
Does this make me weird, that I believe in the power of the human will to grow beyond all 
that we see?
That our future is determined by the flow of each of our minds spill.
The imagination that plants the seed.
The words that sharpen our mental skills.
The creative brush strokes that bring the depths of the minds eye to light.
The inconceivable formulas that take us beyond the unknown, and allow us to take flight.
The power, and the potential of the human mind, the human spirit, the human will to achieve 
more than human might.
Strength to believe in the impossible dream .
The dream to grow beyond our limits is to face the inescapable future, our human plight.
