The Future
by Rainer Maria Rike
The Future ; time's excuse
to frighten us; too vast
a project , too large a morsel
for the hears mouth.
The future, who wont wait for you ?
Everyone is going there
It takes suffices you to deepen
The absence that we are .
In the first couple lines of this poem it tells a perfect point of view . When thinking about the future it could either be a positive thought or a negative thought. This author Rainer Rike choose to say the future it there to frighten us. Being scared of the future makes the presence seem a mystery.Which relates to our society today , some think the worlds going to end in 2012 , some people believe that the government will plant chips in all of us. All these subliminal facts about the world ending it to much to grasp and engage.
"The future , who wont wait for you ?" The future doesnt wait on anyone. This poem explorts mixed feelings through out the poem . You just have to wait for the future to come . Dont get your hopes high on a perfect future because they could be let down. You cant expect something out the future , you just have to wait for it. Thinking about the future makes your mind travel , Rainer left it simple .The future is full of suprises and leaves mixed feelings , weather its being scared or excited everyone is going to the future.
Creepy, yet that would probably happen unless people stand up agaisnt it.
ReplyDeleteThis is actually pretty close to my view of the future. People are always trying to predict the future whether it's going to end in 2012 or become something awesome there's no way we'll ever know until it actually get to us. It's better to just stop freaking out and let what ever happens happen.
