The Normalization of Magic
I write to everyone in the future
That is, everyone alive now
Because it is the future right now
It has been the future for a while now
Nobody sees it though
Clouded by the nature of being born in it, they can't see it
Much less appreciate it
You see, we're so advanced in the future it sickens me nobody realizes it
It's now what we're use to on tv
How can there be poverty and human afflictions in the world of tomorrow
It violates the hope that fuels the imagery of the future
So we'll never come to terms with living here
and we'll keep pushing the date
Maybe when they unveil the flying car, or the silicone human
our breaths might be taken away
for a moment
But soon after, it'll be normal and a new narrative shall be scripted for the future of the future
I write to make you realize normal is temporary
The advertised future will always change. You'll never be sold that tomorrow is finally here.
Because nobody knows they live in the future
But we've arrived somewhere worth noting
