Notes About The Poem

ark

"Humans only take action when its too late, or almost too late, with either of two modes: abject complacency or sheer panic. They wait for the flood to build the ark. - Gaia.

Listen to poem:

Forest of Windmills

On the hills is a forest of windmills.
A chimera mirage of 
shrill, garish pinwheels,
Wailing an endless lament 
to the tragedy of the commons.
They spin a yarn of the 
collapse of self-sufficiency
and starved frugality,
that yearned to curb our needs. 
It's already too late, 
or almost too late to ever succeed
in providing for the commons.
