2050 Under the Sea

Human greed will succeed in heating the planet to a dangerous degree
Consumption destruction evolutions function and strenuous need 
How brilliant are we? 
We the people structured to feed our unlimited want for want subsequently never satisfied with that what arrives immediately derive an idea from our minds eyed desire and stride forth to acquire obtain abuse and leave behind exhausted until haunted by our thoughtless past judging us in the future as bad      
Lazy or grandeur, the unmet demand for, the want to command more, neediness angle, superficial stature 
when invasions of land by polar capsules will rid us of shores as we sell ourselves short ignoring reports for the false the wealthy forged to keep wealthy wealthy which in time will make us walk backwards into the seas we once crawled free and so we will see the full cycle of humanity 
2050 under the sea
Put a man on Mars or this planet of ours
