The world ended in ice
as scientists predicted
lab coat Noahs
ignored
as they counted the animals
two by two
into their ark
and lifted off
We who are left
shiver
in the cold
in the dark
in our ignorance and greed
forgotten sinners
with no dove
to fly from Ararat
Hauntingly beautiful interpretation of our current path.
Thank you so much, Lyra. Would that the path had changed in the six years since I wrote this…
