As acres of wildlife become prime property
& battles across the world increase
millions starve as some feast
& merchants of death
dance for prosperity

"How long can we
haägendaaaaz like this?"
I wonder
. . . yet . . .
to those firmly glued to TV sets
or hi-resolution computer screens
such questions elicit
yawns

Will our population
wake up in time
before a cataclysm dawns?
