Staring to the
unsure distant future.
Why are humans
only concerned with
the here and
now? This world
of beauty will
not be seen
by future generations.
What will they
be left with?
A time when
they are unable
to go outside,
breathe the air,
feel the wind
on their faces,
without a mask
to filter polutants.
We take, literally,
all of the
natural world for
granted, leaving only
sharp stinging sand
to blast the
next human age.

''As the deer pants for steams of water, so my soul pants for you O God''
Psalm 42:1

~ 'Tis indeed, a sad state of affairs. Poets such as yourself, are at least preserving the images of Nature's beauty for future generations, through your poems.

"What will they

Such a sad question Goldenrose. It's a shame it must be asked. Great work.
