A Haunted Future

A little depressing but thoughts on life nevertheless.

I’m not a complicated individual and I prefer it this way,

People confuse me so completely and utterly.

They scream and they shout with a rather vulgar grasp of language,

With a view on the world that is not terribly clear.

They don’t seem to think of the future and the pain that it could bring,

Including the lack of oil and the abundance of death.

I sit quietly and I read my new book,

I think of the world and what we will become.

I can see my peers becoming rather frightened, wishing they had worked it out,

We all die in the end and it is never nice.

 

I can see all of time and the things still to come,

I like to think of the joyous occasions such as marriage and birth

But no matter how hard I try I can still see my death and my wife’s and my kid’s.

I wish the world was less complex and lives were less at risk,

From being taken involuntary or destroyed in a moment

For if that was the case our lives would be all that more pleasant.

I’m not asking for immortality, just a happier life,

Where I am able to protect and love the ones I hold close,

For I am not a complicated individual and I prefer it this way,

I wish to love my children and my wife someday.
