once long long time past
when huge glaciers covered
continents locked land
continents under ice
ice on land was denied
as water to fill seas
to ancient shorelines
retreating sea levels
were hundreds of feet
lower humans walked
lived in vast lands
now under present oceans
we humans are travelers
walking now in the sea
of familiar scenes
that were once time past
impossible realities
all that is familiar was
once not familiar in ages
of extinct dinosaurs this
unfamiliar reality we could
call climate change more vast
dramatic than present ripple stories
landscapes change realities
change humanity adapted
to not adapt is an extinction path
it will not be climate change that ends
the tale of humanity even Eli comet strikes
will not end humanity preparations seed banks
stored for event earth regeneration
dumbs deep underground military bunkers
are prepared humanity will survive comet strikes
but MAD our friend mutually assured nuclear destruction
wars biological warfare genetic warfare this
is a crap game anyone's guess loser total loss
but fear not climate change humanity adapts
life finds a way especially when hate anger greed humanity
gets out the way gives life a chance to prosper fear not
climate change that money making worth billions cash cow industry
it is but another tax world government tax toy so far humanity
has managed to even survive all forms of government both wise
to toxic yes toxic devastation governments did cause a few nasty
speed bumps along the way growth greed wealth empire conquests
endless wars leading to nightmare eventual global horrific world wars
the solution invest time energy money resources into beautified peace
