Will the society of the future be one of forgetfulness
Casting out a net in hopes of catching pieces of truth
Believing in false prophets with promises of wealth
Who will sit and partake in the fish of great wisdom

Do we choose to discard what is painful to remember
Do we bury love with the promise to never forget
Do we let the fire of life burn to smothering embers
Do we carry on with a heart full of sorrowful regret

Will the society of the future be one of forgetfulness
Embracing a modern world of artificial intelligence
Doubting our existence in some strange sci-fi plot
Who will sleep and partake in the dreams of life

Do we choose amnesia as an artwork of survival
Do we unearth remnants of ancient sentinels
Do we ignite flames of hope, a spiritual revival
Do we relinquish our hearts unintentional….

Will the society of the future be one of forgetfulness
Settling for a world on the cusp of extinction
Yearning for buffalo, salmon and seeds of thought
Who will lead us into the land of mind-fullness
