  • Yesterday Shaped Tomorrow

    What are you most worried about for the future?

    After some careful thought I must cautiously say,

    I am mostly worried about things that are of yesterday.

    The Scientific Revolution, many argue, improved the human condition.

    Scientific method and observation replaced the Aristotelian Tradition.

    The notion of  true freedom, civic duty and the common good, 

    were supplanted with, do it, just because we could.

    The impact of technology advancement, measured in the short term,

    Has shaped a calamitous journey from which we might not return.

    The question “Does it benefit all of mankind or just a few?”

    Is no longer raised, to seek a divergent or opposing view.

    The future is here now, it arrives at the end of each day.

    How long will it endure, No one can really say.
