Things are different now than ever before. We need to learn new ways of doing things because the old ways are no longer the way things are done.

Time is of the essence.

Time to make known our presence.

The future is now

and we must know how

to take care

and to share,

helping each other

to become more aware.

Nothing should ever escape

our focused minds,

and we should look out

for all of the tell-tell signs.

This world is not

like it used to be.

Yes, we are still free,

but what does that mean

in today’s world?

We are to be

all that we can be,

but are met with walls

and a lot of pit-falls.

Too much red tape

in doing anything.

This breeds discouragement

and gets things quickly out of shape.

We are left not knowing

where to turn.

Yet, there is so much left to learn.

We are to be stern

in our abilities,

keeping our eyes open

to what is not yet known,

paying close attention

to that which is shown.

Knowledge is the future

and that may be the only thing

that will be set in stone.

    DB…like they say there are only two sure things in life…death and taxes and I’m beginning to wonder about death…as Bob Dylan so eloquently puts it…The Times They Are A Changing…you said the same thing just in a different way. I Like It and voted to say so. Great write. Thanks for sharing.

    Hey…wonder what happened to my comment…maybe Triond has called it in for revision!!! Maybe too many readability errors!!!

    Well they say three times lucky. I have posted two previous comments, neither one of which appeared here so this is the third attempt and I’ve also voted that I like this every time but nothing seems to be registering…sounds like lots of technical problems here on Triond…Wonder if the technical problems also affect the way they calculate earnings for material submitted here?
