Finding Forethought

by Phil Laws   May 8, 2016


Perhaps we'd take to mingle still
Di solving into nature's velvet comfort amid the birghtest lights
How none would squint should we find these minds to comprehend
Aye, they'd be patient who had melded
There's no one here to tell you though many would wager a guess
But I would as readily bet against Nostradamus
As I would take to tag with King Midas
Or leaprfrog with a Unicorn
Many an idea require more than presumption
?Suppose we are as essentially doomstricken?
Not I
Yet knowing that I know not
Have you the directions through understanding and new growth
Solid in it's continuance as puzzles for the joy
A new strand of life inhaled per answer
We who surpass our previous learnings, fiddle and ponder beyond technology
Still these same studies put to esteem and forethought would yeild a breakthrough in humanity
A heart alone duties not rank nor reputation
It is in whiling toward peace of mind that puts each bell on our caps
Hear again how our lives should pursue and desires further complicate
More attempts turn mightier foolish feelings
As each day contains time to prioritise
Resolve and comprimise
Oh, which one will find our forethought
It seems only the author knows the outcome to foreshadow
If our scientists truly meet stun when their works pervert to warfare
And most blessed with innocense follow, and are taught through dim-lit daily negligence

    Hi Phil, a lot of food for thought in this. Lack of sleep has completely thrown me so I'll be a bit rubbish in my comment but I like this.

    As each day contains time to prioritise
    Resolve and compromise

    I love this line, it's so true we just need to know what to prioritise, compromise and resolve.
