Imagined Future

Author: Elaine Yu
Year: Future

Civilizations will have advanced technology
Flying cars, flying humans and saved energy
We will spread peace and joy with our words
There will be less wars and poverty
More colour and less monotony
People will be more understanding towards others
And never complain, 'Why, bother?'

We must pray for a better future
Perhaps doctors will find a cure for rare diseases
And make our living more easy
Can they invent something
Where we can live forever?
Or mend marriages between broken lovers?
They already put in work each day for different causes

Education is the way forward
It's to better children's futures
They will enter workplaces less awkward
And have confidence in their abilities
If they're stuck, can we find remedies
The teachers they meet on the path to success
Will mean a lot when they grow older
