The History of the Future

The History of the Future

A Poem by Davidgeo
"

will it be discovery or invention?

"
In the history of the future,
Will it be discovery or invention?
In the story of the past,
Was it all discovery or invention?
In the moment of the present,
Does it really matter where we came from,
Compared to where we're going?

Your poems always make my brain rattle.Regarding the history of the past, it matters little because we can do nothing about it. It has gone. We can learn from it, but we can't change what has already happened. As for the future, it has no history yet, or otherwise it would be in the past, in which case we would still not be able to change it.The present is far more important, we live in the present, we should savour the present. I guess I don't spend too much time pondering on where I came from and as to where we are going, I switch off completely. That is a scary place.That is enough rattling of my brain this morning David. Greetings to you from across the pond.

fragments of the last book I've read must have haunted me or is it just your writing. THE ORIGIN by Dan Brown. Good read :)

This poem is nothing more than a single sentence interrogative.

We often wonder what the future holds for us even after a lifetime of questioning! Not nice to live in lombo and hoping and praying for the 'Ideal' to happen. The anticipation can be a bit exhausting therefore we lose ourselves in dreams... while life takes its tall on the realization that we can' t be 'Forever Young' . We can't ever stay the ageing process. Have a good day!
