Our Death Offering to the Future

 

Everywhere, humans altering the landscape,

not just governmental, but farmers, developers:

ourselves imposing designs on landscapes that

need follow their own evolutions or, as Darwin

might indicate, they become unfit for survival.


And so, the most transitory, those with least

claim to the future, gouging unmercifully through

nature’s processes, which include in their present

their future possibilities, persist in pulling the means

to live from under the feet of their grandchildren.
