Oh I am the future unseen and great.
I can only be guessed as I show no trait.
Oh I am the future yet unperturbed.
I cannot be impressed or unnerved.
Oh I am the future, the greatest judge.
I am not biased nor do I budge.
Oh I am the future
And my future is the past.
So work hard to make your name last.
Oh I am the future
It’s not my work to forgive.
To give me your best is the only chance you live.
Oh I am the future
And I am not your mate.
So grab your chance before it’s too late.
Oh I am the future
And this life’s your test.
Pass it and join me in my future’s quest.
Though I am the future,
I am up to you.
I’m the place where your dreams may come true.
So, don’t brood over the past.
You’ve got no time.
I’m very fast.
It doesn’t matter what you were,
It’s what you are about to be.
Work,
So that when I grow old,
You don’t have to cry over me.
(Ignotus: Latin word for ‘unknown’)
