Tomorrow Becomes Today

Tomorrow comes today when laptop leads time astray as we forget ourselves as news junkies or by studying celebrity, as if we miss anything we will take the rap as though any information is all; there are no higher forms like knowledge, let alone wisdom distilled by thought, experience and time, because to rise up this hierarchy is such a bloody bore. Today is tomorrow as human nature does not change, if at all; history is always in flux and luck bad and good try to make or break us, yet progress does exist seeing longevity that would make even our recent ancestors laugh with incredulity; this long lingering kiss or exhausted breath, hopefully bringing individuality and sociability if not in mutual harmony then in positive creative, as education enhances us and wealth enables us to us our spiritual gifts (however defined) guiding us so that we in the West for all our faults and failings are both a beckoning beacon and a warning lighthouse to a world that Bill Gates so audaciously or arrogantly claims, will in twenty or so years time expunge all poverty even if the world, or we try in dreadful symmetry, trip all beings up?
