For What's To Come

-For What’s To Come-
by
Keaton Foster



See
Know
Feel
Hear
Be aware
Understand the truth
Allow in to envelope
Your sense of being
Refuse the lies
They serve you none
Failing under the sun
Has never been an option
You have to do what you can
What you are sure you must
Have no regret
And if you do
Bury it deep within your chest
Fight to be prepared
For what’s to come
Know the rules of the game
Understand how to break them
Be sure to play your part to
Keep up all appearances
But when no one is looking
When all are overtly trusting
Take what you are sure is yours
Leave nothing else, not even scraps
Your obligations to your species is nil
Your story has always been about survival
I know it well, sadly I can relate
Hell on earth is more certain
Then any heaven beyond the blue sky
There is no god
Except then one we decide
We all have to make a choice
Based upon the decisions made on our behalf
Propagation of issues embraced
Will create only more of the same
Break the back of the mold of those
Who gave you life and then told you
Do not do what you wish
Do only what we intend
Follow the path laid
As crooked as it seems
It will take you where you need to go
To you, as a poet turned heretic I say
Step to the left or the right
Care nothing of their endless shit
Follow all that they insist no more
Become your own pathfinder
A directional barometer
For what’s to come next
Everything is not as dependent as it seems
Upon the very next step
And the weight of the ones took
Be prepared to go your own way
Your own defined direction…
