Tracking thoughts

 * tracking thoughts *
These discordant thoughts
Flame and strife and murder
Fermented sickly sweet
Lure flies of our greater populance
A great buzzing over cesspits
Of our cities busy and crowded
Overthrown Nature and sustainability
No longer thinking we need heed
Famine warnings or flood
As if our species has circumvented
All balances and controls
Even as our behaviour gathers pace
Further moves equilibrium from center
Towards extremes we rush
Flood famine hail and drought
All the elements in revolt
Fire to burn our lands
Hail to strike us down
Storms of undiluted ferocity
Gales tornados and hurricanes
Where none before had been
Earth beneath our feet quaking
A world at war with us
And this the only world we know
Unless we find escape
Too soon final judgement made
Our abilities decline
Death of all completely
So discordant thoughts foretell
A world of murder fire and strife.
