we need to listen more to those with a vision less to those without
around the next curve there might be danger, we’ll see because time won’t stop
what we choose to bring with us into the future should be beautiful
because we can see where we are headed, we think we know the future
if we sit and wait we’ll get the future we get not the one we want
the signs are there, but do they predict the future or echo the past
just like the weather our lives are predictable minutes at a time
centuries from now school children will study our misinformation
make a commitment not because it’s permanent but because it’s hope
in the future we will have gotten to the end of this short haiku
