Mar a Lago’s Machiavelli
Years in the future,
After temperature cycles
Have turned again,
Rendering the world's water
Once more secured in ice,
There will eventually melt and emerge
The quintessential example
Of a once starry-eyed human anomaly.
The mind-wreckage of a beached id,
An indulgent instinctual force of self-centered importance,
A way of life centered on vacuous awareness,
A swirling denouement of greed's ultimate message.
Adrift…
Desolate trappings.
A stranded boat dock.
Erupted drainage pipes of aberrant waste.
Concrete and razor wire caltrops of anti-paparazzi defenses.
Multiple luxury crafts grounded and upended.
A swirling flotsam of human and Palm Beach remains
Held in arrhythmic motion.
Despotic spoil heaps of extravagant fantasy
Amidst a modern palace foundation left with only one ocean view,
It’s own dead pool reflection.
One must hope in climate change’s aftermath,
As Nature in all its once ignored glory thaws,
Might the icy unconsciousness of a narcissistic pillager of decency
Remain frozen in his solipsistic arrogant denial.

As a matter of fact, from a reality show last night, I learned that Wyoming has more coal than West Virginia (pretty well mined out, now resorting to mountain topping) and that coal production in this country increased 6% last year, largely as a result of exports. Good for the economy, but very bad for our future. All indications are that a lean, green infrastructure boost and innovative federal investment in new technologies would greatly improve both the economy and the world environment at the same time.
