I have Seen the Future 



I have seen the future
drawn from visions of memory 
splattered across the canvas of history 
somewhere between yesterday
and tomorrow, we had an epiphany 

I have seen the future, I say
where our senses are no longer assailed 
by cicatrixed monstrosities 
assaulting our sensibilities 

I have seen the future 
the beautiful ones have been born, 
of the tyranny of our masters we have been shorn 
and the land inherited by the pure 

I have seen the future 
every dreariness and gray 
has been driven away 
and our horizon is hued 
in magenta, gold and blue 

I have seen the future 
guinea corn and goat 
need not fear the rain 
the avalanche of terror's reign 
has become obscure 

I have seen the future 
where the line between stranger
and kin has become blurred
and water is just as thick as blood 
Tell me now, doesn't it look good.
