A dark cloud
Of fear, of anxiety, of panic
Came from the sea
Of challanges and problems
Jumping in this world
So well.
Humans used to cower,
Hoping that
Nothing could see
The little living being.
But that is not the way...
Just one among all
Stood up.
That human faced
The fear
Not avoiding it
But accepting the humanity
Of that feeling.
That human was the first
To feel better.
The dark cloud started
Stepping back and
Fading.
-Debora Radice
Having arrived
At the apex of the human race
Luxury ancestors could not imagine
Tech, transport, and time
Time
The one thing that never ends
Inexhaustable
Time
Time for a change
Addicted to our luxury
Time runs thin
Take it all for us
Leave none behind
Human pillagers fell forests
Until time runs out
Hands up. You know the drill. Everybody ready? Ready? I mean _really_ ready? Good. Wait. You. In the back. Yes, you, with the red beanie. You! No, not you, the other red beanie. Oh, I'm sorry--of course it's _maroon_. I don't recognize you. Is your name on the list? What's your name? Stan? Let me check. Okay, Stan, you're not on the list. What? You didn't register? What? Screw my WHAT? Okay, that's it folks, I'm done. I'm out of here. Thank Stan. What? Uh? Oh, I'm the jerk?
