Futurism

2024 century.
I have no body and I'm just dreaming.
I didn't notice the sun had gone down,
It had gone, and you've been gone a million times,
So I don't know if you'll wake me up.
There will be no stars and no cars,
In the new world we should try flying.
But still we couldn't, we won't have enough powers,
And there won't be subways or trains,
We'll use small electric airplanes.

We still won't have rights either, 
Because the system might not be easier.
We'll have to wear a uniform and watches, like in the movie named «In Time»
Or in the book «We» by Zamyatin.

Teachers must be soft
So they won't have to say they're sorry.
Students will be able to take a trip to Mars,
Excursions on the Sun will be available.
Professions'll be like in the «Cowboy Bebop»:
Scientists, head-hunters, policemen.
Crooks and thieves must be most popular.
There might be new gods so we'll need a churchman,
Heroes and soldiers to fight with aliens,
Together with people they'll create a new race.

Chemists will make special pills,
As the consequence we won't have to sleep.
Now we're working for like ten hours,
Then we must be working until the bosses dismiss us.

Of course, I hope things will be different:
Green trees, comfortable houses, kind people,
Ability to choose the future, to control elections,
To travel, to love, to work less.
(Guess robots will help us).
