The Future

the future I have been listening and seeing a program by David Attenborugh about the dire state of our world listening to his voice, I felt his sadness. He ended with a hope that we can find a way back to a sustainable future. I felt the last lines he spoke about hope was not reflected in his voice. I think as humans we are destroying ourselves the USA and the Russian Federation are threatening each other with nuclear warfare. Should Biden win the race it will get worse he is a warmonger and will confront Russia, unlike the much malign Trump who has kept a lid on things despite his showman bluster. I think the eradication of humanity is imminent. Nature will recuperate, forests will grow but I fear we will not be there.

A very good verse and it is in our hands that we bring into line those who think the dollar is more important than our environment. Keep up writing your words and maybe it will sink into the heads of those who govern.
