Yes, Dear Readers, I left the Category as 'Action/Thriller ...

Just think of All the Grandiose Hollywood 'THRILLER' Movies about Natural Disasters ...

Naturally, they all have some Heroes that sacrifice their Lives, and 'Save the Day!'

Au Contraire, Mon Ami ... if my following Premise, Idea, or Thought is, in any way, Possible, or even Probable ... then ...

"THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE!"

IF 66 years is any accurate measure, you and I won't BE HERE ... nor will my Children ( 106 & 104 ) quite beyond probability ...


P.S. ... NO ARK WILL HELP THIS TIME!

Just Suppose ...

© - Tom Hyland - 5/2/11


Consider, if you will, That ...
The Earth is composed of various Layers ...
I don’t remember all the technical Strata ...
BUT ...

At the very Center of Earth’s Core ...
It is Molten Lava, or Magma ...
Without any fancy-smancy Scientific Data ...
Common sense would dictate that Something?
Must Feed that Eternal Fire in the Belly, Right?

Just Suppose ...

That the OIL - Miles Underground ...
Has always been the Natural Fuel ...
Which has been slowly and constantly Feeding ...
Said Core?

If the Natural Pressures Below ...
Were always Opening and Closing, as Needed ...
The Core might have gone on Forever?
BUT ... enter MAN ...

And his Infernal Machines!
“DRILL BABY, DRILL!”
Release the Natural Gas!
Blow Out the Crude!

“Gim’me, Gim’me, Gim’me ...
All that Liquid Gold!”
Even though we know That ...
‘Global Warming’ is a FACT ...

Just Suppose ...

That Mankind has Reversed a Natural Process ...
What If ... The Core is Surely, but Slowly Dying?
If So ... Then ...
It is Irreversible!

Perhaps ‘We The People’ ...
Have brought on our own Destruction?
It has been about Sixty-Six Years ...
Since the very First - ‘A-Bomb Tests’ ...

Plus, going all the way Back ...
To the Invention of Gunpowder ...
How many Millions upon Millions ...
Of Tons of Explosions have there Been?

Since Hiroshima and Nagasaki ...
How many Rockets have been Blasted Off ...
To the Moon, and Beyond, and Back?
Each One Exerting Millions of Pounds of Thrust ...
Pushing Against the Earth’s Revolution and Orbit?

Just Suppose ...

In Another Short Sixty-Six Years ...
We Finally Either ...
Stop Drilling ...
OR - Run Out of OIL?

Will ‘Mother Earth’ Ever Be The Same?
I Don’t Think So!
After ‘She’ Cools Down ...
After the ‘Ice-Caps’ have Melted First ...

Perhaps Another ‘Ice-Age’ ...
Will Occur?
WITHOUT MANKIND!
Will the ‘Process’ Repeat Itself?

Will ‘Something’ Crawl Out of the Slime Again?

Just Suppose ...

Not to worry. Ice ages are cyclical we'll cool down soon enough. Buy Florida real estate a hundred miles inland, and a big boat. Patrick

"Will ‘Something’ Crawl Out of the Slime Again?"

Most definitely out of the Baltimore slime...

BUT ... enter MAN ...

Alas, we have proven not be Earth's Valiant Stewards, but it's Greed-Filled Destroyers. And very hideously, we're already hearing many again shouting 'Drill, Baby, Drill,' barely a year after the truly horrendous Gulf Oil Spill.
