The Future
In the future there will be no time.
In the future there will be too much time.
In the future we will only work one day a week.
In the future we will become free of all thoughts processes; thinking will be
computer aided.
In the future heroes and heroines will be greens: men and women who battle
against all odds with the mess we will continue to make on planet earth.
The future is clear.
The future is bright.
The future is wrapped up in polythene and stored on discs in the filing cabinets
of politicians.
In the future the nuclear family will be nuked along with the muesli
and Habi-
tat furniture.
Sex, class, religious and race differences will disappear with the future and all
of us in it.
The President of the United States of the World will be a woman in sheep’s
clothing.
In the future we will all wear leisure clothes all day and all night.
In the future there will be global media warfare.
In the future the population of the Third World will rise proportionately to its
word debt and growing inability to feed itself.
In the future the developed world will continue to feed itself fatly on the back
of the Third World poverty.
In the future we will have video-phones, nation-to-nation interface, honey-
moons on Venus, and instant ice, guaranteed free of all preservatives.
The future is an ecological nightmare; fossil fuel shortage, holey ozone layer,
depleted rainforest, toxic waste, poisoned seas, and extinct species.
The future will make us sit up and listen.
The future is our master and we its servants.
The future is our goal, our gaol and our purgatory.
To the future.
