A History Of The Future- What's That? ? .... [actc 2014/12 Poem; History/Future; Contest Entry; Ph Member Poets] Comments

This is fantastic Bri...... Thoroughly enjoyed! Brian's comment is equally hilarious and poor Abekah coming between the elephant fights!

Well Bri, I am looking for any faded photos of Mansions that I have lived in but so far I've only found squat. I wondered where all those dirty diapers in my yard were coming from, but how is this updated version of 'papering' someone's yard a History of the Future? I am laughing though and I frequently call Abekah 'The Prince of Ghana' and suspect that you may well have predicted the future in his case but after living for two years in a tent in Africa in the Peace Corps, I am certainly hoping you are mistaken about my future in a tent! : -) Humor aside however, I am still scratching my head about how any of this is a history of the future? Shouldn't there be some discussion of the cosmic consequences of your dirty diapers appearing in my yard. Now if God were to strike you dead for such an infantile act against a brother of Christ, returning to a more Old Testament Persona, now that would be a history of the future. The most I can say for your poem however is thanks for the laugh and that your rhyme scheme tells me a lot about your childhood which I pray to God is not the History of Your Future
