My Poem July 16, 3003

The next door man

runs away with a woman,

the mother of her mother in law

300 years old.

a great great grandfather

has gotten his latest child,

an offspring with a 25-year-old

who looks his own age.

the child comes out of a bottle

in just a month the two

took their marriage vow.

and both are already thinking

about which university

to send him in two years' time

and the dreamed holiday

in the farthest reaches of space

in thoughtcraft,

a craft that flies as fast as thought

the latest technology that finally

unravels the mystery of space, time

and the wrong road men have taken

to conquer these two spheres the

past many thousand years.

all these thought patterns,

shackles that have bound men to their

seemingly unchangeable fates

have finally been hecked

and they finally could run free.

the revelation; every thing is mere thought,

human's and god's,

and men now have learnt how to go

around these thoughts to

altering every existing thing.

Just as stone age men have never

in their wildest dream think

we could travel in planes and watch television,

technologies available a thousand years

from now means we are

no better than the stone-age humans

as none of us would have expected

such wild changes in the lives

of men.
