Anonymous Person - The Future is a Light

The future is a light
A moon
But there is a storm
And black clouds obstruct my view

The future is a light
A lamp
But the shade is dark
And the bulb is cracked

The future is a light
A candle
But the wind heaves
And the wick is short

The future is a light
A star
But it has shined too long
And must die soon

The future is a light
A reason
But it has disappeared
And so shall I
