Searching For Tomorrow

Today is lost in yesterday.
Can longing change a future
that was cast in doubt?


Doubt about what once was,
in reality, is actually
that which could never be.


We become slaves to our fantasies
in a world that can not accept
truth but revels in it's intent.


Disarray increases as we become
blisters on the soles of they who
cursed us throughout existence.


Beware my friends.
Never acknowledge the butcher
when his pride is insulted.

Paul,
This is the best stuff I've read in a long while. I must've sat here for 30 minutes as my mind reeled with each separate thought.

This ROCKS.

Thank you,
Tami

The third strophe longers, but oh, Paul - that last one ties the poem together and sends one off with an icy chill. Wonderful . . . as always!

I've missed your writing; I need to check in more often.

understanding the nature of an event after it has happened and wishing it could be changed....hindsight! or dreaming of an exciting future.....what would happen if we could. If we cant dream and fantasize we arnt human.
Apart from which, there is nothing in my head but dreams and fantasies.
Loved the spark this provoked.

I like my butcher, he gives me the best cuts of meat, I buy whole tenderloins and he cuts them perfectly. I found tomorrow under the cushion in my favorite chair, where I fall asleep like a fat lion after feeding.

Earth-centric Humanity at the Crossroads by Martin Treon

For the reasons I describe in this book, the world-wide suffering, death and extinction of humanity is very likely to occur, unless nonviolent and democratically determined radical and revolutionary personal and societal actions and changes are taken
