Planet Earth Expiration Date? Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

Planet Earth Expiration Date?



science claims life on planet earth
has teemed thrived multiplied
diversified for millions of years

life has proliferated triumphed flourished
on this spacial special beautiful blue pearl
diversifying for millions millions of years

plants animals coexist live in ecosystem harmonies
humans cause hubris global destruction tragedies
exhibit pride arrogance lost contact with realities

modern civilization presumes hubristic vast powers
scores decades dumping vast topic wastes into oceans
wakes to surprised discovery vast off shore dead zones

an overestimation of human competence capabilities
especially persons forging capitalistic power policies
spray chemicals light fires ignorance delet ozone layers

industrially scientifically aircraft seed sky chemtrail craps
into earth atmosphere in petri dish planet data experiments
ignore climate warming global warming melting ice caps

ice caps are unexpectedly melting faster than you thought
arctic ocean ice free not in 100 years plus try 30 years less
thermohaline circulation ocean conveyor belt currents stop

salt salinity fresh water ice melt levels dangerously increase
seasonal shifts poised before balance tilt climatic destruction
plant earth look underneath for catastrophe expiration dates
