Future Grandchildren
The planet isn't dying, but it is responding to all of us.
We are all for the most part plundering this planet in the name of profits.
Soon temperatures will rise during the day to 120 degrees plus,
and then plummet below freezing shortly after dusk.
Sea Levels are rising worldwide and once arable land is now dust.
Our planet isn't dying, it is fighting back with great vengefulness,
but that won't be the reason for the assured extinction of all of us.
Everyone is too preoccupied with providing and surviving,
in this obsolete competitive profit driven monetary system,
which we blindly follow and accept without any question,
generation after generation, after generation, after generation,
which is counter productive for everyone struggling to make a living.
Most don't have the energy, thus no desire for any self educating.
That sadly will be the reason directly responsible for our definite extinction.
Our grandchildren of the future will look back upon us in disgust wondering,
"Didn't you see it coming? How Could You Just DO NOTHING!?"
