Our Future

What does the future ask of us? What does it have to say? About all the mistakes we are about to make, are making, will have made? It cries out for the innocent, for the lost and for the gone; The lives that have been shattered for the right and for the wrong. It wonders how much blood will shed Or how many tears will fall Before we see that the doings we’ve done have helped no one at all. It hangs its head in despair For the people of its world Have surely seen their own collapse, Their own end they have unfurled. It cries out for a listening ear, Someone to stand and take its side To defend, protect and adhere to the very foundation of our pride. The land we were once so proud of Is crumbling more and more each day So take a seat and listen, What does the future have to say?
