The Shape of Things to Come
****************************
I gladly pay
the price of my choices
they don't all work out
but that's entertaining.
They go in and out of fashion
and I don't even notice.
I think that is
supposed to be
the whole point
Half the world
lives in cities now
and that ratio is growing
exponentially
the tarmac walkers
tend to always stay
in those cities
rarely or never leaving
during their entire lives.
Soon nature itself will be
completely abandoned
by the new species of humans
( Homo sapien urbanus )
and the promise of paradise
that is maintained
in ancient holy books
will be lost
and humans will stop
looking for paradise
stop yearning for paradise
will not believe that paradise
has ever existed,
can nor will ever exist
If future people
actually build those fleets
of clean electric
or hydrogen cars
future people will
just use them
to zoom around cities..
they won't explore the world
if they don't believe in paradise
New generations pf people
will have no idea of
what centuries of
fighting for freedom
was all about
as they focus on
.....entitlement
which is _not freedom.
We live in the most
remarkable era
of human spiritual choices,
and that great strength
seems to be fading slow but sure
becoming dull and weak
as surely as
our sense of smell
has degenerated to
just a fraction
of the odour detecting
sensitivity
of a dog.
life does not
come with instructions
choice does not
come with a guarantee
its still a
one on one relationship
with both heaven and earth
we hide out in crowds
so we don't have to
act on that realization
