    Is humanity on the brink ?

     ...the next morn
       the golden sun accents skyward
    sprinkling sunbeams
       through the air, touching Earth
    this ball of resources
       is dwindling, as man wants more
    but will he accept
       that one day, our planet is dying

    are we modernized
       or is automation, humans' destruction ?

    I have read this several times on different days. Each time I read It I think about the song" There's got to be a morning after" Old song. Hoping we can hold on through the night.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
