The borrowed future


 

To observe the happy ignorance divide,

when blindside vanity takes a ride.

The affordable vision without integrity,

overspread trust in God for certainty.

Status quo in brisk and surety,

invested in generations of immortality.

While in those pleasant ideal we talk,

abusing the resources as we walk.

To gain in every art to be tried,

mistaken foolishness with pride.

Witnessing all scruple cares to prove,

to reward the borrowed love.

Propitious heaven and absolute adored,

cooking the golden goose implored.

The prosperous falling with ardent eyes,

to obtain by all means the needed price.

Blind power granted with determined affairs,

jumping boats before the falling shares.

Warnings dispersed on empty air,

economic footprints without repair.

The boundless sky in perfect image,

refined suits handle shifted fault scrimmage.

The comedy as human race preside,

not seeing history as true learning guide.

https://robertrittel.blogspot.com Living virtualistic through myself. The road I wanted to follow choose me and I can see the cosmos to know itself. I remember only moments where my actions manifested the belief of my passion, choosing my next universe through what I have learned in this one. My fears got lost in dreams, sensing what needed to be done with no thinking. I believe in fairy tales, especially with dragons and how to tame them. I do not need any strange faith to worship that celestial brilliance. Dismissing everything what insults my soul and faithful in those small things, because it is in them where our strength is.
