 Over Time

A million years from now,
where will we be?

No more rockets to fly into space
and no more airplanes to take us
from place to place. We will find
ways to travel differently.

A million years from now,
what will we eat?

Eating food will become obsolete as
our bodies shrink... first the mouth and
chin and from the vitamins we take we
develop a greenish tint on our skins...
eyes will distort and quadruple in size.
We don't talk... we merely think

A million years from now,
how will we mate?

It is not only the mouths and chins which
have gotten smaller, among other things,
the women continue to shrink while the males
have gotten taller. It is almost too late. The
question still looms concerning our fate.

A million years from now how will we
survive?

We will have to travel back in time to
re-discover our mistakes...to make right the
wrongs which seems to have taken place ... over
time. It may be the only chance we have that will
keep our species alive.
