"Failed Custodians" Our world is in her death throes Afflicted with a curse This ailment called humanity Vampiric in our thirst Unceasing is our hunger And shameful is our waste And callous are our hardened hearts Priorities misplaced But no one bats an eyelash And nobody thinks twice And no one seems to realize How high will be the price Our world can't last forever And now the end is nigh As we, her failed custodians, Do naught but watch her die... "My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--it gives a lovely light!" -Edna St. Vincent Millay |

I agree the world as we know it is doomed. Still, I imagine it will survive yet another doomsday prediction. It has before, and it will again. I am appalled at the way the world is turning, that much I concur wholeheartedly with you. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
