Hmmm... That last line could be interpreted so many ways. My slant would be that technology will ultimately be our undoing. Splitting the atom may have seemed a brilliant success in its day, but thousands of Japanese might disagree. We shudder to think what comes next. Anyway, someone else may have a different interpretation

With our replacing ecosystems and climate systems with economic and political systems I’d say your interpretation is pretty spot on. ;),

Thank you John. My next poem should be about how I miss finding caterpillars in my broccoli. xomo
