    Ode to the Future

    Ode to the future


    Oh, we can naught but rejoice,
    For what the future brings.
    Not even the wisest men can tell of the strange contraptions
    The future will spring!
    Life will be easier with new technologies.
    I think it is safe to make
    A prediction that pigs will fly,
    Man will escape the prison of Earth,
    Or even that books will become obsolete.
    For what nonsense was it to the ancient
    Egyptians or Romans that there will be
    Flying machines and a man walking on moon.
    That their Great Empires and
    Great ancient traditions and even
    Languages shall scatter with the dust!
    Here is to the future of
    Greatness and prestige!

    Alas, but to what future will we awake when we all need tag #'s (SSN, bar code) to "prove" our existance? To even survive in a material world?

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
