FUTURE TENSE

When Emoticons rule the World
Virtual Eyes will shimmer and wink
Digital Lips will smile and curl
Messages will not waver or blink

Virtual Eyes will shimmer and wink
Cats will release holds on tongues
Messages will not waver or blink
When you can speak without breath in your lungs

Cats will release holds on tongues
Each person speaking, singing with one voice
When you can speak without breath in your lungs
Constant communication is the compulsory choice

Each person speaking, singing with one voice
Silence is no longer the standard of gold
Constant communication is the compulsory choice
We’ll soon forget sweet nothings of old

Silence is no longer the standard of gold
Digital Lips will smile and curl
We’ll soon forget sweet nothings of old
When Emoticons rule the World.
