PANGEA ULTIMA

Earth changes continuing-predictable and un-
Hurricanes,volcanoes,tidal waves cycle and repeat
We clean up messes and repeat patterns of habitation
Housing along San Andreas Fault Line
Building in flood plains.New Orleans below sea level/
Haiti has a history of hurricanes.We cannot help ourselves.
Slowly,over eons,continents drift apart.We create illusory nation states
to divide us like Koreas.Sometimes wars unite us(Vietnam)
Yet all the while we get further and further apart
Icecaps melt/polar bears drown/global warming changes us
The heat is on and we are on the front line.
There is no other habitable planet .No moon nor space station.
We are here on a piece of rock spinning through space
with a dying sun and one old moon and some historic stars
to define our path in the moving map of our collective path.
Where we are heading separate from the earth we walk upon
even though our ashes and bones reside here
Once we relate to the fate of our only home
perhaps  we can love her /empathize with her
as she spins apart in her path further from us-
Blue planet gaia.Pangea Ultima.
