After

Don’t live in the moment,
Live instead in the moment after.
Then, before you’ve made your decision,
You’ll have seen your regret coming.

In the moment I’m angry.
In the moment I’m content.
In the moment I’m despondent.
In the moment I’m unstoppable.

Choices made in the moment,
Are governed by all these things,
Because emotion presides here.
The eminent Master of Ceremonies,
The dynamic hype man,
Leading the crowd in raucous chants.
Many are carelessly swept along,
Until they find themselves trampled,
In a mosh pit of turmoil.
