Forever

It seems like forever since
anyone could convince
me that ever began
or there was some kind of plan,
fate-like
or Third Reich;
whatever.
How clever
of a race
to put in place
such complexity
as this ‘time’ with its perplexity.
Let’s look at what transpired
in this universe so neatly wired.
First there was a mind?
Maybe not this kind
but for sure to contemplate
and appreciate
the firmament,
this ether and its full extent,
such grey as could transduce,
and quantify, reduce.
Then a pinch of evolution,
who knows how much to provide an inkling, toward solution?
Remaining as organic will
or necessitating androidogenous pill?
Still, must be a plethora of schemes,
including dreams.
Who cares, so long as means toward the end?
Needs must, then all should blend.
Where stand we now, how far the road to task,
is this the time to ask?
If time should evaporate,
what might be an eventual fate?
Without the now to see,
how could be data free?
Or space,
the place
where lovers state
their bond and procreate?
Is there life without the ticking clock
or view to take the stock?
Perhaps that is how forever hides;
how fate, existence abides.
For sure as futures have disappeared
now into the real, so weird
we go,
our futures show,
or perhaps the past,
apathetically aghast.
