Dreams of Future Past (2022 Poem 4)

Dreams Of Future Past

Tech Wizards fly jets to guarded resorts
Near Palo Alto, the people sing at campfires on the beach
Mingling with new met friends, sharing food and wine
Tonight who dreams of freedom

Oil Giants sail super yachts, leaving the ocean garbage patch behind
Outside Riyadh, the people share a meal prepared with love
Celebrating the birth of their firstborn
Tonight who dreams of freedom

Water Rich Millionaires stroll oases encased in walls of cedar and cement
In Tunis, the people dance joyously together
At the wedding of their daughter and their son
Tonight who dreams of freedom

(Prompt: Write a poem set a hundred years ago, or a hundred years from now.)
