Future!

Future!

What would you do tomorrow?
If you controlled the tide.
Would you stop the virus?
This human genocide.

Would you negotiate with nature?
Promises we all must keep.
Would you see punishment?
If these we did not keep.

Would you leave the virus running?
Let it run its course.
Would you leave all to nature?
Believe in natural discourse.

Would you write tomorrow?
Control the deeds performed.
Would yo make everything all right?
Our thoughts and whims reformed.

Nature has a balance,
What price would you pay?
To chase away the virus.
To live another day.
