OVERDUE

     What may we know in fifty years of how
     our human consciousness can grow,
     providing us more sapience than now,
     allowing our intelligence to glow?

     Just thinking such a feat were possible,
     not daunted by our former ignorance,
     believing in that wondrous miracle
     may point us toward our species’ next advance.

     Then let us hope that new technologies
     to tune and realign our consciousness,
     or ancient ones that sages used to ease
     soul’s maladies will bring our hoped success.

          Lord knows, it’s awfully late to realize
          it’s time for us to wake up and grow wise.
