when you think of the future
you likely envision the remarkable
technologies that you've seen in comic
books and film
all modern scientists agree that many of
these inventions are either unlikely or
unnecessary
it may surprise you to learn what the
future could actually hold
A searchlight 
burns through the purple night
are you lost
or are you tired?
I'm blinded by 
the light of the shooting stars
that pass me by
are you dreaming
or are you travelling through time?
A searchlight 
burns through the purple night
are you lost
or are you tired?
plenty of suns 
set here, to the sound of guns
are you safe
or are you floating in a bubble?
moments ago
the night turned blue
and told me to go
are you sad
or are you trying to reason?
questions burn
themselves out, like a sun
are you the answer
or are you a searchlight?
A searchlight 
burns through the purple night
are you lost
or are you tired?
