 to the future
I'm sure you're looking back
wondering about the lies you're reading
how no-one seemed to speak their mind
or lead anyone to salvation
or do anything but whine and cry
and so few mastered an art we were taught
and the past generation that smoked all these drugs
and drank all that booze
and pimped all those hookers
and fought all those wars
to sell you to some cult
so you could do the same thing

what reality did we send you
the wars of a previous generation
no need to argue about the chemical warlords crippling our societies
with chemicals and insanity
while the rest of them are high on something
and drinking their pains away
who end up screaming at one another
and i listen to the sirens circle around
to dodge bullets in my parking lot
because the underground has been unsettled and the silent wars are spiraling around

are we really a happy bunch
brainwashed by some martyr zombie
are we all confused and going to psychics
and i for on own books on palmistry i never read
but practice cartomancy
and one day might be the founder of the church of the gypsies
where you pray after doing twenty push ups
and learn to read tea leaves when you're twelve
and take tests of how to read tarot cards
and how to protect yourself when you leave your body

dear future
and the future of the future
did the sucker patrol see you coming?
are they still advertising alcohol
in nudy magazines and making girls think they look older when they smoke
so they can get some nookie
even though it causes all sorts of diseases?

so what are your options
smoke and die of cancer
drink your blues away and stand in line with cirrhosis of the heart
get high and end up insane
and then spill the seeds at your children's feet to be come a part of some cult
who pretends to care but wont put themselves in harms way
because the government
whose selling you these deaths sentences
has every good intention

have you figured out the hands you've been dealt and how to stack the deck for the future generation
how to screw yourselves over
to humble yourself when your children surpass you in intelligence
with signals and communication
death threats of their own underground conspiracies and ultimatums

or will you be too busy licking your wounds running away from home
from pedophile unless and abusive parents
and mind controlling propaganda giants
paying the underground to bribe away from civil war like the legends of natives and Canada

dear future what do i see
what am i covering up
what am i hiding
what have i given away
what page have you torn up and ripped up
that has self destructed you sworn you'd never forget
when everything from crime to malpractice all of the sudden makes sense in this world of generation gaps
of warlords puppets and puppet masters and counterintelligence
so fall in line and choose when to make your move
know those out there trying to make a difference are counting on the muscle of you and youth


will you be tormented by the future that you didn't defeat the puzzle of death sentenced diseases and unhealthy living
what did your mother teach you of what happens if you don't clean up your mess after yourself
do you go out ion to the global pity part and drop item after item and never pick it up
so we started with three dropped items and now we have thirteen thousand someones coming to clean it up

dear future
this death wish poem i am
that you've read that affects your mind while you watch television of why you have to work all day to come home and watch crime scene after crime scene
why some people choose to get into the drug scene and then never get out or come clean
and we all want a dream

dear future do you see the past clearly with the fact we are the sucker patrol selling you to deathbeds with lie after lie
and you will go to what war we tell you to over some other liars lies

dear future can you solve the most logical equation of some powerful being shedding his skin haunting and hunting us all down to realize its not fair that the witches tread water until they drown
will you aspire to be creative did we see and predict your own mess
did our government not allow us to make any sense
was all we were allowed to do was illusion you
and pray
dear future and the future of that future
I'm a dieing breed today
and everyone sways in the aisles of some dead man
that grows bigger everyday of something we all agree on but killeachother over In madness for some lie not worth living
and we no longer philosophize or learn life lessons
most are too busy getting high or working 9-5 to buy the next thing the media is selling
to amount to nothing
and even the famous people regret the lives their living

dear future can you break our chains
can you make me a momentary hero of nonstop sentimental backwards logic
of how i wanted to point out to today how everything could change but stubborn cults and my blasphemy and political propaganda greedy for votes wouldn't let people be themselves
I'm terrified living in this world were every other day I'm creatively thrown away for something else to be or not to be that was my question

dear future
what game are you playing
and the future of that future this i pray
I'm setting up domino's we cant go on this way
I'm setting up ultimatums to this KKK and ethnic cleansing and false pride and tears mothers cry every night for masochistic turn ons and devilish black eyes
cant you see
if you don't beat it and you plant the same seed the same garden n will grow if you don't remove the weeds
you have two generations
if nothing changes
my domino's will fall
the realities I've created in this lifetime will come swirling around for good and evil
and you'll see them Battle eavchother out
nothing has been done for you
and i am nothing and no one just a center stage freak of nature saying
let everything be changed
i cant live this ongoing sense of insane

dear future of the future
i am sorry you were born into such a cruel world
a feat of unequal measure
and i must tell you
you are the last leg of this race
before mans plan
unleashes the gods
who all have curses to replace curses of trivial natures
all your lives are in danger
nowhere to run
learn to dance
learn to sing
live every day like its your last
and try to break this curse
cause I'm ending your world then
do you hear what I'm saying present
its the same thing
nothing is going to change
so I'm throwing this rock into the future
if they don't beat it
light the domino's
set up the stages
and watch every parallel nightmare come to life
end the terrorism with suicide
before were granted eternal life to live a nightmare forever
