Save

I predict after the devastating floods, fires and drought, a Permian like world will appear with jungle at the poles and creatures like the dinosaurs evolving again.

Let's Hope It Doesn't Come to What My Artist Depicted Hello, World! He awakens to see the light, eagerly explores his new world, crawls, babbles, walks and talks, a whole new experience unfurled. A puppy licks him in the face, when he gets dirty exploring, mother gets a worried look, thinks his exuberance a disgrace. Her world grows dark in time, just when he wants to find, what it's like to play and roam, keeps him locked up at home. Outside it's foul, hard to breathe, water is filtered, boiled to drink, vaccinations for virus reprieve, manufactured food, AI think. His world online is all he has, rest is too foul, way too bleak, he still wants to explore, go outside, learn more. Ships are leaving every day, escaping the hellhole of his birth. To the colonies, nearby, still, very far away from Mother Earth. Befouled by greed and ignorance, he had no part in the doing. He stayed back with AI's help, to right his ancestors' undoing. Coolsuit on and in a solar ship, explored the planet, tip to tip. What he learns to his surprise, some species have survived. Vibrant species have evolved, others, adapted to the heat. His wonder is beyond compare, Earth's healing is hard to beat. He nurtures it with all his worth, creates new babies so bold, they can roam this new world, like they once did the old. Before he dies at a vigorous 126, he gets to see villages forming, green enterprises quickly growing, pure water and air again, flowing. Copyright 2023 © Ronald W.

You offer a "beyond the expected" perspective, Ron. It is very much "in sync" with mine. Love, peace, and best wishes to you,

It looks to me that is what our real world would be heading in the near future; and then it will re-invent itself with the AI.

Shazaam!

Thank You for 'Hello, World!
It's wonderful from beginning to exciting end.

I want your new book, Ron!
And I really like your Artist's rendering, too.
I read your book's page, and your concept is quite intriguing, esp. since it could easily manifest in today's world.

You are quite the Gifted Writer, Ron -
As my husband will attest to, as he's almost finished with
'Hanging By A Thread'. He finds you amazing.

Join the club, I said! :)

Take good care.
Love & Blessings,
Rhonda

Perhaps it was my grandmother's and aunt's Native American belief system that left it's impression on my own, but I believe the earth is a living entity. It has shown in times past that it is well capable of saving itself in differnt ways from subtle to catalysmic. And it proved its ability to renew itself during the covid pandemic when humankind went into seclusion and Mother Nature began to reassert herself. Truthfully I was sorry to see us re-emerge and send the natural world back into its own seclusion. While there are beautiful souls among us, I believe that humans in general are too blind and full of hubris to see the dangers around us. Dangers not just of our own making but also those that threaten our living world into its own brand of self-protection.

This is both wonderful and creative. I can see so much truth in it.

I believe we are heading there already, as you say, thanks for sharing this interesting piece of poetry. :)

IT IS CERTAINLY INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE ACCEPTING, IN THEIR OWN WAY, THE FACT THAT THE WORLD OF GOD IS TRUE. AS THEY ARE 'ECHOING' WHAT'S ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN. AND IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW IT'S SOMEWHAT ALTERED TO MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING AND ACCEPTABLE, FACT IS...THERE 'WILL BE' A CATASTROPHIC END TO THIS EARTH, AND A NEW AND BETTER WORLD 'IS' COMING. INDEED, HELLO WORLD! SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY GOING ON AND IS BEING SUBSTANTIATED BY THE UNIQUE CONDITIONS THAT ARE BEING REVEALED, ESPECIALLY CLIMATE, WHICH NONE CANNOT IGNORE OR DENY. GREAT SHARING, ENJOYED. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Pretty bleak world you've brought forth. Could we possibly be heading into mankind's darkest time? In a way things might be looking that way.
So sad. Looks like science fiction has caught up with us...
So sad!

You've depicted a world that could, might, possibly come true. Something tells me, however, that the way our world is programming itself, there's a real possibility this planet will succumb to ignorance or greed, or both and as a result, uninhabitable. Let's hope our ventures into space keep up with the problem and find habitat planets that might save a few of our species...

You paint a vivid picture. Here's to hoping that your last stanza is the most prophetic. We need all the hope and goodness we can get:) Blessings, Ron.
