Tomorrow's Future

Wandering, lost in the turmoil of today
 I stood and paused, contemplative -
a struggled entourage of thoughts 
 mesmerized envelopings of my dream world
where tomorrows, the future would change
 all for the betterment
 the wise progression of mankind and humanity.

Machines, computerized artificial intelligence
 that restructured the world 
into a brilliant light of intellectual discovery
 of how important life's realities are
the realization that all life matters
 and love and brotherhood exist for all
 and those goals are achievable with understanding.

Sadly, as I stepped forward
 looking back over time regretting errors made
I drew in the massive picture of destruction behind me
 each laying in the crosshairs of passing time
to be forgotten once more
 and all the lesson learned return
 to be realized over again in tomorrow's future.
