Stabbed, torn, ripped apart

Just a barbed wire captive;

Imprisoned in darkness

By society’s cold, dead heart.

Yearning to be free, 

to be loved; 

to find peace and happiness,

and the warmth of a summer’s beach.

Yet too often we let our desires lead our actions Changing the future for our own timelines. And because we don’t learn from our mistakes We continue to Marty on the McFly. Then life devolves into some altered reality As our stories become more fictionalized. So, what becomes of our next of kin? That’s something we may never know. However, we can develop models to show us A number of possible futures where humanity— Can continue to grow.
