DEAREST FUTURE

Folder: 
JOURNAL #14

included is the mile

least wrecked by the erodist

man and his aging slave nature

how she has started to buck her overbearing

riders

timed now, no more is the oh so beautiful

beast

for now man has been thrown into the puddles

of sludge that his numerous for fathers carelessly

left in their wake

the age of industry was truly the foulest blow

the world today though wounded

still, she stands with her head held high

the taken for granted gets her own back

and man has slowly likely much too much so

started to unwillingly bow at her superior

strength

and humbly ask for her elusive forgiveness

leaving us but with one final yet crucial

question

will she in turn forgive him of his cruelty

and neglect

where her needs were once concerned

I'd say its doubtful

but only the voice of time can answer that one

for you, 'Dearest Future'..................

(Aug. 19, 1995)
