The Next Hour
<p></p><p>What has held man in confusion?</p><p>Is it time, season, the condition of hours, or the tone of life?</p><p>The tone of life that cannot be heard</p><p>Yet calls, and we leap at its wish.</p><p>The time of joy, when foreseen, may not come,</p><p>The time of death, though feared, may tarry.</p><p></p><p>The moment of freedom can come like a thief and leave like a chief.</p><p>While the next day of a belly feast result in an unplanned fast,</p><p>And the long-anticipated days of feasting may fail,</p><p>As at the grand finale of a fight, Waterloo comes unbidden.</p><p></p><p>This is the life we did not wish for, yet we see it.</p><p>Some moments we cherish, but they fade too soon.</p><p>Some scenes we dread, yet they choose to stay..</p><p></p><p>Is this all life has to offer;</p><p>The unpredictable seasons of days?</p><p>If life came as we wished,</p><p>The witch would wish away all wretchedness,</p><p>The rich would wish for endless wealth,</p><p>And all would be wrecked.</p><p>Let us continue to make do with this unloved yet fated curse of nature,</p><p>The inability to predict or command the future.</p><p>So let man make the best use of this confusion,</p><p>And our lack of the gift of foresight. </p><p></p>
