Nothing we know is sustainable
The only thing certain is change.
We can all do our bit for the planet
And don’t get me wrong we all should.
I do what I can on our veg patch
Waste less put stuff in right bins
But they’re still having wars
Firing missiles
And what can I do about them.?
So much has changed in my lifetime
Things we just never foresaw
Things that you now take for granted
Were just science fiction back then.
The changes come ever faster
With AI and nano and such
We can’t cling to life as we know it
But nothing‘s forever things change.
The forces of history are legion
No one can know how they‘ll change
Who knows what might be discovered
Or which current certainties fail?
So yes do your bit for the planet
And try to rest easy at night
Let’s hope we‘re winners not losers
And somehow it all will come right.
But we’ll have adapt to the future
Whether it brings bad or good.
