speculation
speculation, speculation, speculation
while nature remains the same
man has the mind
but knows not the way
cancerous growth results
darkening our days
great achievements languish
stagnate and rot
and the technologies which could save us
are hoarded, stolen, and lost.
speculation, fear, and thrills
endless roller coaster hills
raging chemical assault
renders man not sapient, but dolt
nature, nature, nature,
her ever-loving spree
cares not for "markets," scandals, lucre
but mountains, sun, and sea
what a shame to think how we could live
in harmony with these
but choose instead the self-destruction
of false economies

This is beautiful, it touches on so much with such simplicity. Climate change, our failing health and the inhumane deeds going around. Awesome piece.

Great verses, @kafkanarchy84. A wakeup call. Very inspirational. It seems that we never learn, as a species. We may be the only animal that destroys its own habitat.
Centuries of wisdom, history and screwing up dissipate when material interest enter stage.
Thank you, @hlezama.
