Time to Be Worldly

Before we Can't

By Patricia FoxPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

When will we finally see our

World with its ticking clock on its Black Box

Who will save us?

Wise people or wiser animals?

Wisest money is on our animal counterparts

While we finally realize, we too are animals, of course

We will huddle together for mutual safety and warmth

Will a ship rescue us from our final destruction?
