speculation

speculation, speculation, speculation

while nature remains the same

man has the mind

but knows not the way

cancerous growth results

darkening our days

great achievements languish

stagnate and rot

and the technologies which could save us

are hoarded, stolen, and lost.

speculation, fear, and thrills

endless roller coaster hills

raging chemical assault

renders man not sapient, but dolt

nature, nature, nature,

her ever-loving spree

cares not for "markets," scandals, lucre

but mountains, sun, and sea

what a shame to think how we could live

in harmony with these

but choose instead the self-destruction

of false economies

This is beautiful, it touches on so much with such simplicity. Climate change, our failing health and the inhumane deeds going around. Awesome piece.

Thanks for reading :)

Great verses, @kafkanarchy84. A wakeup call. Very inspirational. It seems that we never learn, as a species. We may be the only animal that destroys its own habitat.
Centuries of wisdom, history and screwing up dissipate when material interest enter stage.
