Why did man ignore
The decomposing shield,
Earth’s ozone door
From which behind
The sun inclines,
Till given chance
Will cook your mind,
And with more time
He’ll have you fried…
Where are the keepers
Of once perfect earth,
Deaf to despairing cries
For a world built on lies,
Conceived by profiteers
Forcing us to hide,
In shades of emptiness,
Soon to live in shadows
Too close to dark’s abyss,
Where man has lost face
And mankind has no place!
Poetry on a canapé 
Why did man ignore. Now that’s a question I’d love an answer to. Great poem. 🙂
Thank you Paulette! This late in the eventual consciousness of mankind, and the voice of science finally forced to be heard, one can only rationalize and surmise that man ignored, primarily because of ignorance, combined with their political mañana habitual attitude, and to a certain extent greed of these elected parties, responsible so called officials of world societies. Jean-Jacques
You’ve about summed it up. Right on the money!
Vous décrivez en termes poétiques, une situation désespérante.
My way and two cents worth of expressing the need for man to wake-up beyond words, if our future generations are also to have a chance to live on this planet. Jean-Jacques
