Wrong responses to challenges of environmental and global dooming will not solve the problems. The competition of capitalism left to itself will not provide answers to environmental economic questions any more than sports competition will prepare for and provide answers to a science test. Natural forces of capital development may be as indolent and unresponsive to environmental exams as the archetypal coach potato believing that swilling beer and watching the NFL Sunday will evolve the right answers to an end-of-semester science exam Monday morning or ultimate questions on the last day.
Of
Nature's Way
In
the shadows that flit across the street
meeting
places that eroded way
the
report of no time remaining
gathering
dust like a neutron star's reign
of
power concentrating further
the
value of truth's costly commodity
leveling
packages
was
a gong
Minus one twelfth night
another
sum of all numbers
where
forests of trees cut down fly beyond
enfiladed
species erased as dreams
hours
echoing in waves formed ripples
cascading
through Higg's field
where
gravity stands down at last
motion
too with global warming dead ahead gone past
Sentient logic circuits in linear
progressions
racing
through bodies in a world after quarks
where
ideas exist for-themselves
darkly
immune from the gilt of transactions
shaped
like frosting on cakes
ice
rhymed winks at states of art
killing
of organic life and morals
bereft
of spiritual reason.
