Best Not Too Distant Future Poems

WE ARE POLLUTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the beginning, its said we were just dust,
Conjecture or, simply words I don't trust.
Even the big bang theory is not a positive must.
For the truth in all manner of things, I do lust.
I know it's out there, we've just scratched the crust.

Long ago in the not too distant future, whence temporal tense was but a phase,
I found myself afloat inside my head, from where I feared I'd fall within its haze.

Trapped by the door on the ceiling of my cranium's oubliette, 
Where light had broken yonder...

Dare Listen
            by Odin Roark

Time chooses to whisper,
Having endured shouting decades,
A species’ feigned listening,
Maelstrom's obsessive noise-making.

Still persistent
Is but a parade,
A just married tin can raucous
Tied to mankind's bumper.

How tenuous one’s duration.

Yesterday…

Sitting inside time's tree...

In a Perfect World, the world would have to be just so - perfect!
On the sixth day of creation God said to his Son, ALL things are 
perfectly good - in both heaven and on earth!
The Father created this globe, called earth, perfect and serene,
And...

As days go, this has not been one of the best

But after giving myself a good talking to

I've realized not all days are created equal
 
It's the lunatic fringe that are wreaking havoc

Ask anyone on the street and I'm certain

99.9% are peace loving folks who...

You were born in Clermont, Queensland on December, twenty-four, 
Away back circa eighteen sevn'ty-two. 
Edward Jones now had a fifth child, whom his dear wife Anna bore, 
Their second son and both were proud of you. 
 
They'd migrated out from Ireland back in eighteen...

Santa learned about a year ago that the North Pole was thawing slow,
And in the not too distant future, he may be adrift on a perilous floe!
That was disturbing, but another situation has elicited little cheer.
(As if the jolly old gent didn't have enough to...

A lone voice echoes in the hear of the valley
     Did you hear it? 
     Are you willing to work for peace? 
Tall trees surround the green carpet which is the valley 
a stream meanders through the...

My soul is in a bad way 
    Different worlds are calling me 
and pulling me in 
   different directions 
What path to choose? 
Can I continue in the 
   same direction? 
Or should I make

'From now on' were three words I hesitated to use for fear they might not go over well with my lovely daughter.  Taking her home one day, my daughter replied to me with two words saying, "Until then".   I was expressing my...

To honor my friend who passed away on 8/16 
and her daughters who took such good care of her.
Rest in peace, my friend, in the arms of Jesus

the ebb and flow, fluidity
of blood
through arteries and veins
stopped

still, the shell
they take

we’ve been so busy
arms like lead

awake
to the...

I remember playing in the grassy fields
when time was young and skies were bright,
picking berries in the patch behind our house,
enjoying youth to my delight.
I remember learning lessons with my sister
like how to live, to love, to share.
How little did I know that time was...

I recall my having saved something:  A special sized box … a uniquely colored rubber band … an old, old hat … or a million sundry other things, thinking that sometime in the future I might find a use or application for whatever it...

As I approach my twilight years,
I find myself less important, 
less relative in other’s eyes,
I’m not needed, 
lonely and fading away. 

Once I was the man in charge, 
all decisions came thru me, 
my words lived and had power,
there was no problem or situation, 
that...
