imaginarygarden The Tuesday Platform Imagined By Marian
I don’t think I belong to this time
I find it crude, rude, self-absorbed.
I’m bewildered, baffled, buffeted
by the human race, by the book of face.
I think I just might have to leave,
pack my bags, head off to 2223
for surely by then men will have learned
to live together in respect to each other
and to the land. At least that’s my plan.
I’ll try to get word back to you if
anything has survived when I land.

Oh, I do think this sometimes too — however I usually want to go into the past, rather than speed into a future that I fear may not be as peacefully landed as you muse. But I do hope for that. And yes, I do so agree that the “book of face” can be utterly rude & ridiculous. May we keep our hearts & satisfy our souls with poetry, always. Love the Shelley quote too, one of my faves. 🙂

I so relate. We have been set back fifty years overnight, and here we thought we had come so far.

If not I would prefer to hibernate… sooner or later things must change back to being sane… it seems that the younger generations has a saner view in most cases.

Looking for a brighter future I see. Well, Debi, your line “for surely by then men will have learned” is a bit optimistic. I don’t think they are capable of learning any thing good.

Oh, we must have optimism, hope. My days would be way too bleak if there were no candles to gather when the tunnel is dark.

That is true, Susie. I don’t really want to go to the future, I just want them to invent the “beam me up, Scottie” machine so I can visit my children and grandchildren when ever I want.

Honestly, in my day to day “world” I find people mostly kind and considerate. It’s this FB “world” that seems so intolerant and rude at times…

That’s mostly true for me too Margaret but there are those few and they are loud.
