Mauteen, immediately made me sad, then angry, then sad again. Necessary, and very well written! Thank you!

Very well worded, and the hourglass perfectly illustrates time marching on our self-destruction. A very fine write.

Thank you so much Anil! I believe in opportunity, technology, if we muster the will, alas, unfortunately more like if industry muster's the will. Cause and effect~supply and demand, demand we should. I'm rambling... ;) thank you for your kind words, appreciated my friend. xomo

Thank you RD :) It presented itself, so I went with it, it's symbolism fitting. Almost switched a line for shape's sake ;) I toyed with turning it into a PacMan shape, lol! xomo

"They" are on Mars watching us with morbid fascination, the trillionaires, well, affording the last seats in the house to witness the grand finale. ;)
