The trigger for this poem was the reading of the article «A Desirable Future Haiku»

 

Desirable futures with technology evolution,
delightful utopia, fair distribution,
or horrible dystopia, doomed to endure?
Disruptive technology, constructive scenarios,
Tomorrow’s positive vision, seductive promise,
Timeless sci-fi dream anthology.
What seems plausible in 100 years?
Threads of future massive, real time connection,
Internet traffic of everything?
Crowdsource tsunami of solutions?
Genetic control of disease, population increase?
Cities boom, people’s world seize mobility.
Robot replacement, human fragility.
Warmer climate change? Hopes for new energy source.
Range of affordable and clean alternatives,
a driving force,
no more fossil fuel pollution,
a new narrative.
Natural resources exhaustion, habitat irrational dead end?
Suspend blindness, extend imagination.
Spread education, universal and creative endeavor,
lifelong for the finest, forever.
Visualize a cohesive, sensible future,
Solar power thesis,
solar-hydrogen vehicles, electric cars producers.
Aquaponic tower farms, healthy food,
GMOs harm.
Clean and safe streets, urban wealthy.
Global fiscal policy harmony,
Income prosperity to jobless and poor,
democratic solidarity grander.
Civil rights and citizenship upheaval.
Reveal and remove oligarchies from our sight.
End conflicts and arms deals,
Save the ocean, the coral reef, the rainforest,
Save the Earth, there’s hope for an utopian
and ubiquitous chorus existence.
