A History Of The Future Poem by Darlene Walsh
A History Of The Future
Can you see what future's history will be
Is tomorrow something that you can see
What is it that the future can tell
Or is it only what will be is what will be
Is the future's history a mystery
Life extracted from future's distillery
Only time will tell the truth
If what will be will be dismal or glittery
Is there a crystal ball to help see
All that in the future will be
Or is the future hidden to all
Leaving only hope for what will be
Maybe if you strive to think well
If you learn your history well
A bit of tomorrow is no mystery
Maybe futures history you could tell
As Asimov has said about Psychohistory *
If you can know all of yesterday's mystery
As told by his character Hari Seldon
Then tomorrow will be like yesterday's history
Or if you're like a song of tomorrow
And you hope for rainbows with no sorrow
Que Sera, Sera - Whatever Will Be, Will Be
Then from tomorrow you need not borrow
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be *
* Psychohistory - A fictional science described by Hari Seldon, a character in Issac Asimov's Foundation series of books where the future is accurately predicted based on a full understanding of the past
* Que Sera, Sera - Whatever Will Be, Will Be - Song written by Jay Livingston and sung by Doris Day
There are two things about future history, either you can see it, predict it, as is accomplished with the not yet existent science known by some as Psychohistory; or future's history can not be seen and then life is Que Sera, Sera.
Everything in between is just a guess, or a probability/possibility based on incomplete knowledge.
