Not pessimistic,
really. Just when the
darkness is about
to swallow the dawn
a miracle will happen
and the air will
be clean again
and the atmosphere
will suddenly become
correctly balanced
without science.
.
I am optimistic
that when I die
the earth will heal
and renewable energy
will be the best measure
for norm.
.
Creative human toil will
return an age scarred earth
to near forgotten neatness.
Paradise and restoration
will infuse every slogan.
.
Reverence for a simple blade
of grass might then prevail,
and contemplation of species
thriving will heal the wounds
from a carelessly rash
and overlong human youth.
.
Then, a hundred or a thousand
so years from now, when
the skies are pure and waters
rush in clean tides, some gigantic
meteor will strike the planet
and undo so much deticated
and persistent labor.

You are also probably
You are also probably correct, our world may be defeated in many ways, sadly.
As Long As Humanly Possible
We may suffer near misses and hang on by our collective fingernails - that meteor may miss us entirely. Thanks for this comment on 8-31-13. - Lady A
