All rising but Self

Oceans are rising, So are the aspirations Unchecked, untamed Fierce crowds of Hasty, unconcerned creatures Called human beings What is the future? A sky hidden by mist and muck Nights without stars Days without sun Earth lost by pollution and war Whom would they rule? Alas! Wisdom is not communicable How to salvage The challenge is formidable Where are the gods? Sleeping or enjoying the game Of their offspring?
