The Distinction of Exinction

what despair is this
                                            civilization after
                                               society after
                                               culture after
                                                 individual
                                                    after
                                                    every
                                                     fate
                                                  suffered
                                                 to witness
                                              the fatheaded
                                            diseased minded
                                         ending of everything

Very well worded, and the hourglass perfectly illustrates time marching on our self-destruction. A very fine write.

Thank you so much Anil! I believe in opportunity, technology, if we muster the will, alas, unfortunately more like if industry muster's the will. Cause and effect~supply and demand, demand we should. I'm rambling... ;) thank you for your kind words, appreciated my friend. xomo

Thank you RD :) It presented itself, so I went with it, it's symbolism fitting. Almost switched a line for shape's sake ;) I toyed with turning it into a PacMan shape, lol! xomo

"They" are on Mars watching us with morbid fascination, the trillionaires, well, affording the last seats in the house to witness the grand finale. ;)
