Tipping Point

There will transpire a time,
Global warming will reach
a tipping point, the world
that is dying by the choices
we have made.
 
Humankind's selfish actions,
need to be rectified before
it's too late.
 
This land we have neglected
this land we hold dear,
Our need for power
our need for comfort.
 
Our planet's future unknown
 
If we continue to subsist
beyond our planet's means,
famine, animal extinction,  
and eventually the annihilation
of Humanity, just to mention a few
will become our new standard.
It could be the beginning of the
end of Humanity and all species.
 
No bounty to feed us
No drinkable water to replenish us
No children to carry on our way of life
Infertility will be the norm
disease will rip apart Society
 
In today's World, the above events  
are already playing out as I write this.
We are powerless to stop it.
 
We need to take a page from our early
forefathers handbook and go forth
and embrace SIMPLE living,
be one with Nature, not against it.
