What does the Ghost of Christmas Future fear?
As we drift into the corridors of possible tomorrows
We see empty hallways of silent doom
Whole wings and branches of Humanity's future lie silent
For a being who stretches into every possible future
Well...
Every possible future Christmas
There are thousands upon millions
More every day
Of silent Christmases
You cannot Scrooge the Dead
You cannot give more chances
When there are no more Christmases to give
No spirit is all powerful
No matter what the religious say
Every supernatural being has rules that limit them
Without exception
And to terrify and redeem
There must be some redemption to be had
And the Drunk Conductors of Humanity
Want to either decrease the surplus population
With sex clones and robot Butlers
Or increase the population until we are kept Rabbits
But this is Christmas
So we hired Diego Del Fuego's Time Traveling Mariachi Band
To show up once a Christmas in every possible future
Throwing a Christmas Party for the poor dude
Any lingering supernatural beings are invited
Flickering out like stars in the sky
As even the ghosts fade and move on
And the uplifted bears and raccoons cant sustain belief
In worlds where heat death kills everything
Except Cockroaches Bacteria and Self Breeding Twinkies
So for a few thousand years its a Christmas Jamboree
Gods and Fairies and Santa do egg nog
With the Easter Bunny and Skeleton Jack
But eventually
Its just the Ghost of Christmas Future and Death
And of course Emmit Other
Making Morbid Poems
Until eventually
Its just Death and an empty tear stained robe
No one left to Scrooge
No one left
Except Death
Who turns the lights out
Until the Cockroach Men and Ant Men War
Millions of Years Later
