Poem Artwork

 

Who wants to live to be so old,

This world a mess, we should of it scold,

Fear in every neighborhood,

Nothing to be done; would I, if I could…

 

Climate change,

Horses & wolves killed on the range,

Polar ice melting,

Of our earth man is smelting…

 

Our world is dying,

No use lying,

Humanity crying,

Farmland drying,

Our world shall end, there is no denying…L

Smiling at Ron's comment!
Things aren't as dire as they seem as these complaints have been ongoing before the turn of the century...

I don't share your fear. I have found that once there is eminent danger, we humans have a tendency to change your ways very quickly and adapt. The big if is climate change––we have to change quickly on that.

On the other hand, 75 more years of your complaining and bitching… No way!

Sadly there is only one way to help this planet now and nobody is going to take that option. We, the human race, have indelibly crapped on our own paradise from a great height. We and our future generations are screwed. So much for claiming to be the superior race!

I'm with Jane, stay stoned.
