Ph: Life: What Tomorrow Brings Poem by Brian Johnston

Ph: Life: What Tomorrow Brings



The knowledge that tomorrow brings,
You really want to know?
And spoil forever the surprise,
Of triple rainbow's glow!

What if your life were scripted out
Could be read like a book
But never could be really fixed
You want to take a look?

And what if precognition brings
News that a friend will pass,
The sudden pain of looming loss
Makes you feel like an ass.

So knowing's not enough it seems
Without the pow'r to change,
The future's pow'r to disrupt lives
Its power to estrange.

Imagine now that you are God
All power's in your hand,
The future's every moment known
And no response is banned.

What happens now to man's free-will
If consequence is lost?
If love is no more linked to pride
Can that be worth the cost?

If you as God remove man's pain
Where does life's purpose lie,
A rose that needs no sun or rain
A lover with no sigh.

Perhaps God's plan is what should be?
Put second guess aside.
It might be worse, God could be me!
Relax, enjoy the ride!

I feel it's far beta we don't know our future exactly, since we would have had more panicky, mourning, freaking out days knowing each big n lil tragedy around the corner and how inevitable it would be and we helpless to avoid it. Tragedy free life is only possible in heaven., n we have to work for that. God knows what wil happen in future but He didnt plan or predestine all that happens, we are responsible for many things that hapen to us and so is nature since both have freewill and act at will. Your poem was awesome and inspires muse wow!

Probing into one's future is not worth as long as man cannot alter his destiny! Knowing the future will only leave us sadder and more miserable! So let us yield to God's plan and live in the moment. Let things happen as they unfold themselves and let us enjoy the ride! A veritable truth beautifully delivered!
