Oxygen is depleted
Sun is blistering
Water is scarce
heard myths about trees
insects and animals
we scavenge for food
not many survived
buildings collapsed
most cried as they died
survival of the fittest
it’s just how things are
we wander wide and far

The dinosaurs didn’t have much of a choice.
The environment changed. At no time were dino’s and humans together.
Yet early humans hunted and still hunt some animals to extinction.
If only we could work together instead of all wanting to be the first, best, fastest at keeping each other away from what we claim to be our soul treasures…
Maybe the universe needs another meteor or two to tilt the axis to get humankind to work harmoniously.

It is survival of the fittest and when was it not, Kate. Everyday is a mystery and an uncertainty for all of us on this Earth. Agree with your poem, water is becoming very scarce and we are to be blamed entirely.

we must each do our best and not wait or expect for others to do it, it’s our responsibility!

Jarring vision, Kate, of the future that awaits if we don’t consider our actions’ consequences on the environments. Not just the physical situation, but also the ethical and, yes, the societal surroundings too, just to name a couple.
If we focus on one to the exclusion of the others, the “Mad Max” scenario your words paint will materialize all too soon.

We’re having a rather showery early July this year but are so thankful not to be experiencing the deadly smoky skies of last year…your words paint a bleak picture if we choose to ignore the early warning signs, thank you for the stark reminder, it’s so easy to forget inside our shiny worlds!

At this moment in time, our planet’s surface is experiencing a world-wide heat-wave and some areas are under a heat dome…I think denial is a luxury we can’t afford anymore!
