Half Past Four

Half Past Four

At half past four, the evening news will announce the unification of all religions into a single worldwide religion.

Racism of all types will be extinguished.

The new minimum wage for all workers everywhere will be $25.75.

At half past four, it will be announced that every individual attempting a rap career will need a Ph. D.

At half past four, there will be jobs for everybody and nobody will take them.

Republicans, Democrats, and even Tea Party members will vote hand in hand without conflicting opinion.

Artist's and Actor's pay grade will rival that of professional athletes.

Love will not be so hard to find yet easy to lose at half past four.

At half past four, Apple will introduce a new camera that can fit into a person's iris to snap photos with literally the blink of an eye. They call it the I-Lid.

There will be no hole in the ozone layer that is constantly threatening and warming the atmosphere.

There will be no more wars because everyone will be content with what they already have.

At half past four, school will teach children from a young age what they are interested in instead of what they "need" to learn. Instead of segregating them, they will learn teamwork, instead of cramming ideas in their head, force fed by the public board, they'll be open, clean to have their own ideas.

Strangers will walk up to each other and start in-depth conversations with each other about literature.

A herd of chickens, pigs, and cows will protest at Chic-Fil-A, Famous Dave's, and McDonald's respectfully at half past four.

Michael Jackson will ride a rocket to the outer atmosphere to take Moonwalking to a whole other level.

Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Paul Walker, and Tupac will be throwing a foam party in their penthouse in New York City.

At half past four, gas prices will be reported at $.88/gallon.

Motorway accidents will be a thing of the past.

A cure for cancer will be found in a rare strain of the cannabis plant, which will be almost extinct due to over-consumption by the general public.

And I will see you again and hear you tell me you love me.

At half past four.

      It's supposed to be a list of impossible things.
      I based it off the old poem Tonight At Noon.
      I always appreciate your feedback Ben.
