A poem on a problem that is already very serious today, but that will turn into a real hell for our great-grandchildren! And it is absolutely criminal that so many governments, politicians and businessmen actually act to aggravate the problem!

Greetings Everyone,

The following is an original, unpublished poem.

Thanks,

Mark

Aether On

We suffocate;

we drown.

Inspired equally by belonging

as a piece of this continent and

my ancient radio,

I ask:

How will the earth

treat future generations?

In my youth we looked to the air

for sustenance and guidance; it

told of iron and bamboo curtains

and planted fear

and cultivated triumphalism.

At some point the waters

consumed our souls and

what drives and succors

our narcissism today streams

nonstop for our enjoyment

and edification.

Simply enjoyment

But how will my

children's children's

child endure?

Will humanity's scion

bury or burn?
