In The Year 1985

 
of the names that are filled

in your book that are written

mine has been stilled

by the hand that has smitten

my hopes that had willed


a wondrous world so

in a coming utopia

the place in tomorrow

where we breathe euphoria

whose tears have no sorrow


but a meaningful vision

has been brushed away

and though i envision

what i live for each day

it’s a floundered delusion


on a bench you then lay

drunk with no whimper

the price you must pay

though really you’re sober

or am i this day?

Author's Note
When I was younger I often mused, pessimistically, about where I would be in ten year’s time. Fortuitously, I never ended up where this poem might take the reader.
