"Ignore the Future"

Before people take it literally, I don't mean to live in the moment ALL the time, just too many people procrastinate, thinking the future will leave time. The problem is that we just don't know...

Take away your visions of jet packs,
and flying cars;
cause we aren't there yet.

Blind yourself from WWIII,
bombs and advanced weaponry;
it is still to come.

Take cover from the futuristic hopes and dreams,
the "I want"'s and the "I will"'s;
the present still has to leave.

Ignore the urges to plan out the future,
3 kids, big house, steady career;
disappointment is just around the corner.

Don't assume we will elect a great president,
before the current leader stops speaking;
the world is forever changing.

Dwelling on the future,
can only interrupt the present,
which leads to a terrifying past.
