    “The future says:

    Dear mortals;
    I know you are busy with your colourful lives;
    I have no wish to waste the little time that remains
    On arguments and heated debates;
    But before I can appear
    Please, close your eyes, sit still
    And listen carefully
    To what I am about to say;
    I haven't happened yet, but I will.
    I can't pretend it's going to be
    Business as usual.
    Things are going to change.
    I'm going to be unrecognisable.
    Please, don't open your eyes, not yet.
    I'm not trying to frighten you.
    All I ask is that you think of me
    Not as a wish or a nightmare, but as a story
    You have to tell yourselves -
    Not with an ending
    In which everyone lives happily ever after,
    Or a B-movie apocalypse,
    But maybe starting with the line
    'To be continued...'
    And see what happens next.
    Remember this; I am not
    Written in stone
    But in time -
    So please don't shrug and say
    What can we do?
    It's too late, etc, etc, etc.
    Dear mortals,
    You are such strange creatures
    With your greed and your kindness,
    And your hearts like broken toys;
    You carry fear with you everywhere
    Like a tiny god
    In its box of shadows.
    You love festivals and music
    And good food.
    You lie to yourselves
    Because you're afraid of the dark.
    But the truth is: you are in my hands
    And I am in yours.
    We are in this together,
    Face to face and eye to eye;
    We're made for each other.
    Now those of you who are still here;
    Open your eyes and tell me what you see.”
    Nick Drake

    “You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,

    William W. Purkey
