In a thousand years
what will be left?
In a thousand years
what will be left of us?
In a thousand years
what will be left of our planet?
In a thousand years
what will be uncovered
underneath the dust?
In a thousand years
what will we be thanked for
by future generations?
In a thousand years
what will we as a species look like?
In a thousand years
will everyone be a cybernetic organism?
In a thousand years
will people have to stay inside
most of the time to shield
from the intensity of the sun's light?
In a thousand years
will the human race
be living on other worlds,
and travelling through time,
as well as through space?
In a thousand years
will we have forgotten
what we now hold most dear?
In a thousand years
will we have been contacted
by multiple intergalactic inhabitants
of the galaxy, not mention the universe?
In a thousand years
will people worship Artificial Intelligence
and think of them as all knowing electronic gods?
In a thousand years
will we have created a source
of universal equilibrium?
In a thousand years
will we wish then that we now
would have learned our lessons
about tempting fate?
Only our descendants
can know for sure
what is going to happen
in the thousand years
of the next millennium.
