Is this a dire forecast or poetic vision..either way, you wrote a unique poem, Harry. The universe is expanding mightily ..who know where it takes us?

Indeed, deep and thought-provoking, Harry. Technology seems to have brought everything closer and there are now plans to colonize Mars. Perhaps our vision of an unsullied universe will change as we venture forth. Hope the lessons we learn on Earth help us to choose wisely in the future. Hugs, Carolyn

Harry, love a monoku that I have to think about, this made me pause, of course I realize a monoku can have many meanings to different readers. As I see it, the universe is turning on us Earthlings, with the sole purpose of destruction and we can see this happening now with the floods, quakes, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes, mud slides, the bitter cold temperatures or the too hot temperatures, etc etc ~
