You know the way that children can't sleep without a light
They're treating us like children when they say the future's bright.
A dirty kind of orange, really not a pretty sight
You see it in the evening and it glows all through the night.

That's alright, the future's bright
Say goodnight, the future's so bright.

Got a sound to call its own only noticed by some
An echo in the darkness, a low and distant hum.
An ever speeding heartbeat, a quickening of pace
I heard somebody calling it the human race.

That's alright, the future's bright
Say goodnight, the future's so bright.

Told change is a virtue, we're taught to crave the new
Keep the wheels turning whatever else we do.
Feeding the inferno, stoking up the fire
Standing ever closer, burning with desire.

That's alright, the future's bright
Say goodnight, the future's so bright.
Overzero - the future's bright overzero

overzero

micro poems, modern idiom

god is a symbol
the building waved
my own death
want's needs
zen song
walking a fine lawn
a modern condition
welcome to my town
the missing point
hole in the ground
the sculptor
the war
new black
the future's bright
give me my horns
signs of the times
