A Dark Moon Rising

Rating: 4.8


A dark moon rising
almost as black as coal
nothing can be done
to save the world

The only way forward
is backwards

Yes, it has been an anomaly of the Industrial Age, which is eradicating the world at an astonishing rate! If we go backwards, and change the future that can be done with lessening our carbon signature almost completely (it won't happen,) the end of the world is imminent and threatening very shortly.

Looking back may indeed help us find a better tomorrow, wisdom does often come from mistakes made...and remembered.

Wisdom is born out of the past, and it is wisdom perhaps that will save the world. Excellent Dave.

Very thought provoking write. So much is pulled in here. A sad ness for current life and a longing to go back to old ways. Loved the write.
