RE: "magical realism "Thursday - Prompt:
Ah, you speak my language: * we live on a blue dot in space,
Spinning around a thermonuclear furnace, which in turn is
Rotating slowly and grandly around a super black hole in the
Center of our Galaxy, which in turn is moving about the
UNIVERSE in a stately and courtly dance* ... love it!! Indeed, physics is magic, the building blocks (periodic table of elements) of matter, the fact that we are made of stardust - it's incredible! And yet we get bogged down in paying bills, dusting floors, washing the dishes... we could be or maybe someday WILL be dancing with celestial bodies.
(SOON) to get off this planet, or we will extinguish
Ourselves. And the planet. Population pressures alone will
Soon make food and water reasons for war.
Perhaps, if we can begin mining the Asteroid belt, move an ice
Comet to Mars to rehydrate it
and make it habitable again, it
Might give us time to grow up as a society, but I'm afraid the
Preponderance of Sci Fi stories are right; we will just take our
Faults with us to the stars.
Since we still have people who believe the Earth is Flat,
I don't really hold out much hope. Our societies are
Being dominated more and more by the "Corporations
Are People Too" ideology, and as such those mega people
Will always be able to out vote, or buy out the votes of the
Governments...bah! Let me get off my soapbox @carolkean,
Thank you for your comment. I am glad you enjoyed my
Writing.
"we will just take our
Faults with us to the stars."
Where's the @haiku bot?
Yes, we are awful, but the world is still beautiful, and life will go on. If we go extinct, some other sentient life form will come after us. As we came after the dinosaurs. Love your graphics btw. Fear not! The end is billions of years away!
