2050
By the year 2000 we were supposed to live on Mars
And drive around in flying cars
But as we know that's not the case
We never even had a lunar base
So I'm here to tell you all what's next
Hint: it's not another text
Time Time Time
It will keep speeding up
Information overload will make us all throw up
But don't worry - they will have a new pill
Made just for you to sit and chill
And when you find yourself in your catatonic state,
You will realize that 2050 is as close as 1978
But the number of voices to be heard will have gone from
2 billion to more than 10.
Damn, that's a lot of people repeating the same things all over again
So how will ten billion souls accomplish their goals?
Visually we'll send messages with more color and style
From the clothes we wear, to how we do our hair
Perhaps we will all wear google glasses
Let's hope they don't make us look like a bunch of asses
Yes, the physical and digital worlds will merge
We'll live in the virtual reality of some IT dude's virtually insanity
The pace of time will force us to speak in acronyms
Like DRTY DUNA, BFF or LOL
All the English teachers will say TWHGTH
(The World Has Gone to Hell)
If the future sounds pessimistic it's not, I share with you this 1980's thought:
Don't Worry Be Happy
For, 2050 will be a miraculous place
Our sons and daughters will live in space
And drive around in flying cars
On Mars
The Biological Revolution will conquer Cancer, AIDs and internal scars
And as I read and write with all of you
About humanity and its great renew
Our collective words will sure be to inspire
Our universally shared human desire
That you and I should one day meet
Face to face
Hand in hand
Eye to eye
Where we will love, laugh and finally behold
Our part of the greatest story ever told
