"The Future" by "Ryan Heilig"

The Future
Why now we worry of the future,
When the present is so full of turmoil.
Should we ignore the “Now” for matter of “Later”,
Letting “Now” fester while for “Later” we toil.
Some say we should worry only of what comes after,
Because worrying of “Now” only, of us, numbs.
I say we shouldn't worry of what comes after,
If it makes nothing after come.
A system of destroying the present to save the future
Simply cannot last,
For when the future becomes our present
We will have no past.
