Why not now

Why 

Why must we chase something so superficial 

Why do we chase tomorrow 

What are we running towards? 

Because after tomorrow there is merely mortality 

And nearly all of us fear that 

We fear not having immortality 

Why must we chase a moment that hasn’t happened yet? 

Why must we want something that hasn’t been given to us yet 

Why must we live in the future instead of the now 

What is it that we are running towards? 

What is it that makes us want to go forwards?

What does the future hold that is so grand? 

What are we hoping to have? A new Land? 

Why are we always focusing on who we are going to be 

Instead of who we are now? 

We live our heads in a time machine

Always looking forward never stopping to look around 

To look at where we stand now 

To look at the people in our lives currently 

To look at the memories we are making 

What does the future hold? 

Who knows 

But instead of wondering on things we don’t know 

Why don’t we wonder on the things we do. 

Because sure dreaming is fun 

But dreaming shouldn’t be for everyone 

Because then nothing would get done.
