Draw the shades on 25
and give thanks that we’re alive.
Such advance yet such decline.
Can we say that all is fine?
Is the climate groaning now?
If it should recover – how?
What can we do to improve
Planet we so dearly love?
Intellect of algorithm
must not bring a thinking schism.
Can we use our mighty minds
to fix scientific finds?
Who we are is up to us.
Please don’t let us miss the bus.
Humans are now on the fence
between robots and good sense.
Draw the shades on 25.
Grateful to be still alive.
