The Future lies ahead
Where does the future lie?
i’m afraid someday the future will die.
why does the future lie
to the race of humanity
who will eventually kill it?
find the ones who so accurately predict
and when the world ends you’ll then ask them.
but they won’t be able to answer,
their thinking won’t be straight,
‘cause they will never believe
what they actually see
when all of us are in hate!
we’d be fighting over a claimed corpse
like a lioness defends her prey.
protecting her kill
as animals will
thinking of themselves every day.
why does the future lie
to the flying dove above?
soaring free
to its destiny,
it knows why there is no love.
‘cause the lioness hardly ever looks up
to see how peace should be,
she takes care of her own
in a dark hole in a stone
where nothing else is seen.
so there we have it:
two different thoughts
from two different heights,
and the dove knows it can’t fly forever.

I am from Miami, Florida and have written poems throughout my life. Some more prolific than others. I know this site is for young poets and writers, but i am young at heart with a little more life experiences. Since we all have been locked up in our own induced prison for awhile, i thought it was about time, since i have so much of it now, to gather all my writings and share my life with you all. Topics that i cover will be, "Mother Nature" "life" "Friendships" "Love" and "Some stories and Thoughts." I have loved art all my life, especially photography and graphic art (my profession, love designing logos and studied at the art institute of Ft. Lauderdale) and ceramics. I wrestled at light weight in high school and won a national award for one of my ceramic vases. I have gone through many rough waters in my life, which one of us hasn't,? which you will read when i post them. I fantasy roll play, play card games especially Poker, and i like board games. You are welcome to follow me on Facebook if you are so inclined to snoop through my pictures and my life. https://www.facebook.com/mitchell.abrahams.77 or for my poetry page "Me Myself & i" fb.me/mrapook I also belong the the "AllPoetry.com" website. Hope you enjoy my poems
