Quintessential Nescience



A beginning of such languid calm
becomes a trickle of moisture,
eventually a frozen tundra slowly disappearing,
consequences denied by greed’s blind determination.

Still…

Being but human,
even as evolution affords porous absorption,
for many, ignorance reaches maximum.

Where does such lack of knowledge go?

Beneath consciousness it lurks,
gathering momentum,
rising to overflowing levels without restraint.

Nature fights such disruption…

Ignoring distant shores deniers seek
as they cling to yesterday’s floatation,
a shallow body of existence knowing only to consume,
and then consume some more.

Why does such a group of mankind
choose cynicism over hope,
contempt over reality,
arrogance over humbleness?

Might it be…

So non-human are they,
bent on taking life for granted,
remaining ill-equipped to understand
the amorphous origins of our universe’s weeping,
the cosmic simplicity of its needs,
that they can't see the wisdom inherent in its lessons?

Such phenomena…

Comes from a world of cumulus billow,
moisture in all its forms
gifting our species with
terrestrial tears,
rain,
streams,
rivers,
oceans,
glaciers,
climate,
all imbued with the Universe’s
natural harmony.

Yet, undeniably…

Many remain trapped in cosmic illiteracy,
wallowing in a plethora of denial,
creating a quintessential nescience
while Earth maintains its determination,
to ward off the immutable drought.
