The womb of tomorrow

                                   I do not claim to be the savoir,

                                  or our future. I do believe however,

                                  the things i have been compelled to

                                  write about, the essence that drives me ,

                                  was born from the womb of tomorrow. 

                                   Although central to each passing second,

                                  the essence is very hard to grasp; for it is  

                                  dwarfed by today. It is a thought mostly

                                  fleeting, a smell so encouraging  sometimes 

                                  we must sit down and eat. Mostly, it is too 

                                  expensive.

                                   We must consume the essence, envelope the 

                                  the thought, for if left unattended, we might

                                  very well become fodder for the crayfish

                                  at the bottom of the sea.

Very good poem with a strong message, living and enjoying the present is too costly. very true, if we living without footing on the real meaning of life, a total waste too, I will try to eat today by enjoying the aroma of warm food, reinforcing the word will try, enjoyed the writing, take care

Again, we must pay attention to our world and what is going on around us or there may not be a world worth living in in the future. The writer cautions against getting caught up in the pleasures of the day. There's a life puzzle the writer wants us to figure out. Interesting, intriguing, thought provoking poem.

IT seems to me we are not paying enough attention to what is going on around us, there is a lot of crap going on that practically hits us in the face every day, on and on...

I'm right there with you. Humanity is screaming in pain and no one hears.

Writing in a style that exceeds the mental capabilities of one generation, and looking towards future ones in hope they comprehend the message while the older intellectuals are left to the crayfish because they've sank to the bottom of the sea. The future generation, however, finds it too "expensive" and altogether not worth the risk to analyze the concept behind a piece perceived as great by the writer . . . I like this, and especially the way you state it without sounding condescending. Well done, Indeed, p Salinger.
