What a Prediction

In the year 2319, we can only imagine how and what life will be,
Will there still be families, or just a pooled incensed, breeding sea,
Of writhing, intoxicated humans, clocking in for their lunch hour,
Trying to reproduce and gaining ten more points towards power!

Will mealtimes be as we know them today, or just merely queuing?
For a measly tablet which you must have daily, chewing thus renewing,
Your stamina to surf the planets at a graceful, fiercely unimaginable
Pace, you must be in Planet Venus by 8 docks, o’clock, fashionable!

As you arrive darkness greets you, your spirit, your being generates light,
Only on those you want to see or places that you long to be in spite,
Of the fact that if you stay too long, you sky home will be auctioned,
And your brain scrambled, and laid to rest, without been cautioned!

No rules, no policies, no systems, no charge, no one to give any rating,
Just chaos, and the thought of inhuman elimination, your clone is waiting,
And inherits your looks, your character, your wired and messed up brain,
And this clone will be cycled and recycled for the same to begin all over again!

Hello Jennifer ... quite scary indeed your poem. I don't believe humanity can continue the way it is but what will be in three hundred years is almost impossible to imagine, yet many of your predictions could be implicated - thank you Jennifer - Lindsay

In three hundred years I am sure things will be so different we would not recognize it. You imagination was on fire during the writing of this one, Jennifer!

And I could have made it longer but time ran away with me and I still had work to do that I brought home from our offices. My imagination ran rampant, I love futuristic writes - thank you Caren, hugs and blessings Jennifer.

Hi Warren, how lovely to have you visit - yes 300 years into the future, when archaeologists are digging us up, life will be a lot different and scarier than it is now - thanks for a very apt comment Warren - hugs, Jennifer.

I think we will all be souls by then, but as long as we all get to meet one day, if not in this world, then in the next! Wonderful comment Arturo, thank-you hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Having written this poem and then reading it over a few times it is quite scary, if all this could happen - hope I'm wrong also! Glad you enjoyed Joe, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

The American Fantasy and horror author - guess my career has now taken off then - thanks Andrea, a great comment - love a poem with a bit of deep and dark and join it with sci-fi and it makes it that little bit more daring! Hugs and blessings, Jenny.

It's hard to imagine how things could be so different in a few hundred years, but things have changed so rapidly in just the past 50 or so!

Hi Michelle, so nice to see you visiting my page - hope you are keeping well. Yes in 300 years from now, which is just a spec of sand, I'm sure we wouldn't recognise anything, anywhere, anymore. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
