The Future In My Lifetime

This is a real difficult ask
so much to consider about life
consider climate change and its effect
Covid 19 and its impact so very rife

Climate change will get worse
none of the big nations give enough
selfishness rules their mind set
the consequences of no action, real rough

Consider the long term effects
that covid19 could have world wide
it's clear it's not going away soon
keep safe doing right against the tide

Our life's never be normal again
what was life before? soon be forgotten
as time rolls on continually tick tock
what can one do? just wonder when!

Of course one can't ever be sure
every moment is God's to give
our future is completely in Him
so we do His will in how we live

(I have created a poem that reflects what I believe humanity will achieve or not acheive in the future in my own lifetime.)

I couldn't agree with you more Gordon, and at the root of all of these disastrous happenings is Greed. We don't know what God has in store for us - I'm sure he is unhappy at how we have treated his wondrous planet. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.
