Elimination

gone back to nature
plants overtaking the streets 
nothing to wager
no fannies in too small seats
no more televised repeats

nothing new to learn
knowledge without a future
only time to burn
always idle computers
no new wounds needing sutures

airplanes are all still
no one's borders being crossed
no steaks on the grill
no more items to defrost
nothing's gained when all things lost

meters keep running
no demand for solutions
nothing is cunning
no bulbs creating lumens
Planet Earth void of humans
