what happens next on Earth

Sure, it's possible

that many will live on,

with hydroponic vegetable crops

and SPF one million.

But will they know

about the bees?

And will there be

any healthy trees?

And will they see a coral reef,

painted in rainbows?

Will there still be royalty seated on their throne?

That thieves resources from lands they think they own?

How many times have these lessons been repeated?

While the Earth sighs,

wounded,

but undefeated.
