Prescience

As I peer into the future
The portents of the present overwhelm me
Paralysis is beyond the state we are in.

Precocious young minds poised to impress
Do little but to suppress
All that is meant to depress.

Had we made a pact with Earth
Not to choke it with filth
We would have failed.

Taught to care for all things universe
Exhorted to share with everyone else less fortunate
Still,nothing is nurtured and entrenched.

Do we have ourselves to blame?
Across the globe,everything is in flames
Sad,though,we nay feel the shame.
