Ignorance of mind

Uncertain future's opacity

Blind decisions made


 

Divine guidance

Encrypted messages from heaven

Failed to reach the recipients

Due to dense cloud cover


 

Fighting for dignity

Fighting for a better life

Frightening fighting


 

Giving up everything

Stretching out in the wild current

Maybe the answer

But it still hurts


 

Hello! Life was meant to be enjoyed, easy fun, too. Yes, indeed! But this was before the era of billionaires' greed and before seven billion voracious humanoids munched up the blue surface of a desert planet.

(c)2004 by Franz L Kessler

'Seven billion voracious humanoids'
cam munch up a lot of blue and spend
a lot of green. The greed is sickening.
Great write!

Life is -

As good as it gets;
As happy as one can be -

of what you make of it.

I remember when I first studied Geology the age of Earth and the human population were the same. I thought it was so strange. 28 years later and we up to 7 billion. Egads....we are like locusts.

My cousin who is my age died two days ago from an embolism after a 10 hour flight. Her mother is around 90 years old and takes a mountain of pills all day long to prolong her life. She has been like that for several years. She cannot even leave the house. I keep asking what is it she is holding on for? She has already buried a husband and 3 children. At what point does medicine do more harm? Treat the body, but kill the planet with endless consumption. I know it sounds heartless, but it is our current mindset, the way we have cultured ourselves that we need to preserve our life indefinitely.
