On Prediction

A bittersweet gift:

to see what is coming next.

To know who will fall.

The rules are easy

if you pay some attention.

The cycles repeat.

History's trend moves

without overwhelming force,

creating future.

Opposition forms.

A new world is quite scary

for those in control.

Preserving privilege

may work in the shorter term.

But cycles repeat.

Chaos will ensue

when existing structures fail

at a bloody price.

Too many will die.

Fundamental adjustment's

necessary cost.

Good itself will win

(Well, at least some form of it).

And cycles repeat.
