Future
We picture life as a game.
Start at go. Choose your starting piece.
Roll the dice.
Take a chance.
Draw a card. Collect your money.
or maybe lose some.
Watch as the other players pass you or fall behind.
Its a game.
Everyone plays by the rules.
“You can’t do that,” says the red piece. “thats not the rule.
But who says we have to play by the rules?
When the final goal is so close in reach,
who says rules apply?
Who says?
Why not roll the dice and run
head on to the end?
Because we have the power
to grab at our dreams,
our future
and pull it in close,
to defy the rules
and cast them aside.
We are the future
and the past
and the present.
