The fall.
Some think we are so clever,
As we presume to be the pinnacle of life,
To shape our world just how we please,
Is thought will never cause us strife.
It’s true we have some dominance,
That is our evolution trait,
Such ability in our adaptive skills,
Might just one day seal our fate?
We will build our lofty towers,
That will reach up to the sky,
While all around our kingdom,
That world we know will start to die.
The plants will wither in the heat,
Or drown in salty seas,
And with it most of all creation,
Will be brought down to its knees.
But of course we’ll cope resourcefully,
To save the world we knew,
But this will only be a shadow,
For those lives saved will be few.
Our pollution makes life sterile,
And as the truth begins to dawn,
That as the generations die,
Too few are being born.
We will have our last hoorah,
As we stare at the abyss,
A time when money has no meaning,
And that no one left will miss.
No longer will there be factions,
No room for race, colour or creed,
To busy in our twilight years,
A dwindling population to feed.
The past will be a distant memory,
Irrelevant to those future times,
No understanding of its meaning,
Or those many ecological crimes.
The truth is we have much to learn,
Such as a respect for the world we share,
To learn to work with all around us,
And for our world to begin at last to care.
Have no doubt we are heading for a fall,
If we keep going on this way,
But so many really do not care,
For they’ll be dead and gone before that day.
Darkness.
