Doomsday Clock Out of Control Or Not

Doomsday Clock Out of Control OR NOT?
Clock illustrates man’s vulnerability
to a catastrophic diaster.
Threat to humanity and planet
drawing nearer, faster, faster.
Last year proved perilous, chaotic
the looming threats, plus climate change.
French Pres. Said, “we’re losing the battle.”
Who should accept most of the blame?
It’s humankind that’s invented
Implements of apocalypse.
Who has answers,can eliminate
weapons, before earth’s eclipse?
World still faces water shortage
we know problem largely manmade.
Commerce attacking, destroying
with poisonous chemicals made.
And when is this all transpiring?
Durning worsening climate change
greenhouse gas emissions that rise,
devastating wildfires on mountain range.
Extreme high impact weather
Caribbean hit hard by hurricanes.
Tornadoes, earthquakes, heatwaves,
earth felt all death blows that came.
Is our world out of time, or not?
Answer given will not be mine
You can verify what I believe
In Bible…true reasoning find.
Humans lack wisdom and power
to bring about permanent change.
“Not belong to man…even to direct
his steps”, Jeremiah 10:23 explains.
God will destroy those destroying
Mankind’s permanent home on earth.
Earth’s Paradise will soon be restored
This God’s purpose since mankind’s birth.
