Where - are - they?

 

The riveted robots, the flying cars with improbable aerials?

The time machines, the flying saucers, the final frontiers,

the take me to your leader green-skins

with bulging eyes and fewer fingers

and those great big heads?

 

Where

 

are

 

they?

 

Where is the world state?

The melting pot:

the one world:

the paradise;

the Age of fucking Aquarius?

 

wherearethey?

 

Where is the end to poverty?

The end of history:

the war to end all wars?

The brotherhood of man?

The sisterhood?

 

Where are they?

we conjure dreams to entertain and reassure or warn ourselves. The better ones don't seem to manifest.

Good piece

Best as ever

According to someone I know who knows about this stuff, the age of Aquarius will be followed by the age of Capricorn. So I think the needle skipped over Aquarius and just went straight to the horned one. 

The aliens have arrived, though. One will be PM in September. Either way. Come back David Icke. All is forgiven.

If this is the future it is not yet what we were expecting! I like the things you manage to say with this succinct poem!

we will surprise, amaze and disappoint them all.

Our robots look like Eskys with wheels delivering paperwork and sandwiches around industial estates in the Midlands no rivets insight, just plastic which will last well into the future

The World is in a state and the war to end wars will be the one that ends it.

Aquarius is coming but it takes time to melt all the ice in the caps

poverty is a tool of the powerful and its brother/sister is religion they have a long future ahead.

you ask a question with no answer. ..... they were they are they will be
