What will happen in the future?

Will there be flying cars soaring in the sky,

Or magnetic buildings floating so high?

Will robot buffaloes work in the fields?

Or will we all pack our bags and live on Mars?

Women dream of robots washing piles of clothes,

Making life easy as the future unfolds.

I don’t know what the future holds,

But isn’t it exciting to wait and see?

Why not imagine while the present ticks past?

Let’s dream big, for time moves fast.

And I expect the future to bring us joy,

With smiles on our faces, like a child with a toy.
