You Know What’s Coming for You, Not What’s Coming After You

All of the people leading
Most excellent, golden lives
Some two hundred years ago

Are dead. All of the people
Struggling through most hideous
Lives two hundred years ago

Are dead. None of those who wrote
Things down that are still around
Evidenced expectations

For any world like today’s,
Any future like today.
No one saw this world coming.

No one saw your world coming.
What on Earth do you expect?
