Future Ghosts of the Past

Meltdown and climax change, Magic wonders of life — a poem

Image by the author

Tree meltdown
In the sky’s shadow
Ice burned
Climax change

The future is back
Ghosts of the past
Are coming

Extinct tsunami
Slowly creeping
Unknown to us
We are drowning
In wildfires

Cancer
Humans are
True to their nature
Escaping their collective perceptive
As individuals
Grow without borders

Apathy and burnout
Silent killers
Sounds of a sick population
Dying from within
Central necrosis of a tumor
Who outgrew its blood

Motion meltdown
In the eye’s shadow
Frostbites burned out
Climate resigned
