The Doomsday Clock

Time once thought to be infinite    
Now 89 seconds from midnight    
Lifes design rather intricate      
A story we can not rewrite    
Everything's taken for granted    
Approaching castrophic destruction    
Reaping the seeds we planted    
Feeding the greed of corruption    
     
Global challenges like climate change    
Warned by atomic scientists      
Common sense is now estranged      
As existential threats exist    
Lies spread and government dissension    
Narratives to keep us suppressed      
Global threats of nuclear tension    
Chaos brewing this social unrest    
     
The need for action is immediate    
Trapped in this perilous situation    
Our past we must remediate      
And plan the futures mitigation    
The doomsday clock's unforgiving    
And time is quickly running out    
We must slow down how we're living    
Beyond the shadows of our doubt
