The Seeds of Time

If we could look into the seeds of time,
and say which grain will grow and which will not,
we would arrange our affairs defiantly
in the face of current opposition.

If a thought should geminate and flourish
in the barren soil of the status quo,
it would likely be by sheer providence
that ideas would come to fruition. 

Our dreams, our very imagination, 
are what keep our momentum in this world.
Sans the prospect of incremental feats, 
we would not strive to attain excellence.

If the portent of riches entices us,
would we forsake every value system
to attain the pinnacle of success?
No one could portend the foreordained path.
