Tomorrow, Tomorrow... Will we love you, Tomorrow?
Real Poetic's: Year 2033 Poetry Challenge
2033ā¦ where will we all be?
???
Orbiting our green earth
Mortals travelā¦dripping with goldā¦
Low gravity motelsā¦
Buying whatever can be sold.
???
Vertical farming at its best
Less pests and diseases rifeā¦
Precious soil freely bears more fruitā¦
Packed cities relish life.
???
Births each millisecondā¦
Exuberant cheering most timesā¦
Dreaded death skulks āround us
Grief and regret begrimes.
???
New I.T. inventionsā¦
Human connections such a cinch.
Tech used for good or sinā¦
Wars break out so often, we flinch!
???
AI assisting usā¦
Or will it be ruining life?
Feeding, tending, playingā¦
Or controlling us like a knife?
???
Post apocalypticā¦
World without electricity?
Subsistence farming thenā¦
Rough years hit domesticity?!
???
Time fleesā¦ we vainly chaseā¦
One decadeās time, what will we see?
Heartacheā¦ hate and despair?
Or love and kindness running free?
???

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Feels like this is where we could be in ten years!
Very good šš As fast as my time is moving it will be here soon! š
At the rate we are going, AI will have un mining caves for minerals to farm something or other. We better wise up....too late, Ai wins. Hope for love and kindness.
Ouu, I loved this one. This was tightly written. Beautifully done!
The sense of impending doom was sooo intense! Loved your take on the challenge!
I love pieces like this that challenge you to not only think about what it will be like in the future, but to perhaps do something about it, because it is our choice. Great job, Angie!!!
So many thought-provoking lines. Our World is moving at such a fast pace I sometimes wonder if we're really sure of the destination we're going
I hope itās better but I donāt know. We need to believe it will be.. Excellent entry Angie! āŗļøš
Ange this is so cleverly done. I guess only we can decide which route to take. Sadly the powers that be seem intent on the destructive option š¤
