in the future

in the future we
will all get along.
technology will give us
more time to be
with one another.
we won't be obsessed
with money and work.
religions and race
won't matter.
even old people won't
be dismissed
as meaningless.
we will have more
time to read books,
make love, write
poetry and songs.
in the future
we won't need cars,
we will fly about
like birds.
no one will go hungry.
there will be no
need for guns
or lawyers in
the future. peace
and understanding
will flourish
and blossom with our
advanced way of
thinking. the future
will be promises
fulfilled. it will
be the good road
taken. we will all
wear white robes
in the future to show
how good we have
become. how kind
and compassionate
we have made our new
world.
