Numb. 1250 Survival Of The Numbest

Academic Danilo Brozović says studies of failed civilisations all point in one direction – today’s society needs radical transformation to survive — Guardian

If we contrive somehow to survive

catastrophes of our own making,

How many, I wonder, will be alive

to pick up whatever is left for the taking?

Will civilization crumble completely

and indoor plumbing be butt a memory?

Will we don hand-me-down animal skins

and wear hand hewn, stone-tooled accessories?

OR

will Donald and Elon provide a solution —

after rebooting the Constitution —

enabling thriving amidst destitution;

ignoring those who request restitution;

while unworldly Bernie rants, “Redistribution!";

drunk, Rudy grumbles, “Unjust persecution!";

and Matt Gaetz, as ever, pursues prostitution?

Will there, instead, be a revolution?

Is this the DEAD END of evolution?
