Jan Oskar Hansen Poet Blank verse

The Future

the future

I have been listening and seeing a program
by David Attenborugh about the dire state of our world
listening to his voice, I felt his sadness.
He ended with a hope that we can find a way back
to a sustainable future.
I felt the last lines he spoke about hope was not 
reflected in his voice.
I think as humans we are destroying ourselves
the USA and the Russian Federation are threatening
each other with nuclear warfare.
Should Biden win the race it will get worse he is
a warmonger and will confront Russia, unlike
the much malign Trump who has kept a lid on things
despite his showman bluster.
I think the eradication of humanity is imminent.
Nature will recuperate, forests will grow but
I fear we will not be there.

Keep up writing your words and maybe it will sink into the heads of those who govern. Jan Oskar Hansen October 18, 2020 at 4:18 AM thank you, Kevin Fairbrother
