The Future Is A Lie

 The future is one big fat lie 

It is a large neon sign in the sky 

That human ignore as they toil 

Investing in a day they may not see 


The future is one big illusion 

One that has been accepted in every station 

A bright future awaits you, the lie 

And an innocent kid's soul is lost in a mundane pursuit 


The future is an unfathomable lie 

Your employer wants you to work first  - sigh 

Your landlord wants your rent first 

The landlord is right. He accepts the futility of the future 


What is a future if not mere accumulation of seconds?

And the past one is gone forever

The succeeding one so fleeting 

And when all these are combined together 

You will realise that we are barely alive more than a second each
