Poem- “A False Future”

“A False Future”

People used to believe the moon was made of cheese.

They had this feeling, emotion, and personal sense for the “future”.

Humanity at some point even used to believe that moon was like Earth.

Soon, Earth was sending real astronauts to the moon.

The astronauts were heading for the “future”.

What happened?

Well, we arrived into the future.

But it was not the “future” we were going for at all.

The moon is not made of cheese.

The moon is not full of aliens.

The moon is not a jungle.

The moon is not a planet with farms and cattle.

The moon has no “Earth” to it.

Cows don’t jump over the moon.

Almost nobody has ever been on the moon.

Nobody is meeting previous, natural residents on the moon.

The moon is covered with dust and very empty.

The moon is not like Earth at all.

If anything, the moon is so distant, it’s a forgotten cousin of Earth.

It’s simply not a future that was “future”.

So stop predicting the future.

We have existence or we do not have existence.

There is no permanent promise.
